Cruise specialist

I’m passionate about making dream vacations come true. Whether you're a multi-generational family looking to create lasting memories on a cruise, a young couple in search of the perfect all-inclusive honeymoon destination, or an older couple seeking luxury on the open seas, I'm here to ensure your trip is everything you imagined and more. 

 I initially started out by helping friends and family plan their trips, and it quickly became clear that I had a knack for it. So, I decided to take my passion for cruising and travel to the next level and became a professional travel agent. Now, I get to spend my days doing what I love—helping people plan their perfect vacations.

 Growing up in Southeast Kentucky, right on the border of Virginia and Tennessee, I've always been surrounded by the natural beauty of the Appalachian region. But my real love has always been the ocean, specifically cruising. Over the years, I've cruised more than a dozen times, with more trips planned this year alone. I’ve sailed with a variety of cruise lines, always eager to try new ships and explore different itineraries. My absolute favorite destination? The Caribbean. There's just something about the stunning blue waters that calls to me. I’ve been to the Caribbean multiple times, and each visit leaves me more enchanted than the last. Sharing my love for cruising, especially with first-timers, brings me immense joy. There's nothing like the thrill of convincing someone to take that leap into cruising and then hearing about the incredible experiences they had.

 I’m a Travefy Certified travel agent with a specialized focus in several areas. I’m a Sandals Specialist, Norwegian Masters certified, and will have my PHD certification next year. I'm also a Royal Caribbean Master of Adventure, a Carnival Diamond Graduate, and a Virgin Voyages Gold Seacademy member. On top of that, I'm a Princess Commodore, a Disney College of Knowledge graduate, and a Viking Rivers and Oceans certified expert. As a CLIA member, I’m currently working on becoming a certified cruise counselor. This extensive training ensures that I’m always up-to-date on the latest offerings and trends in the cruising industry, allowing me to provide my clients with the best possible advice and service.

 One of the things I love most about my job is the ability to solve problems and make sure every detail of a trip is perfect. Whether it’s organizing mobility equipment for a couple with physical requirements or coordinating group activities for a large family reunion cruise, I thrive on finding solutions that make travel accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I'm a great multitasker and can remain calm in dire situations, which is crucial when things don't go as planned. My perfectionist nature drives me to ensure that every trip I plan is flawless, and I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with both clients and suppliers. 

When I’m not busy booking amazing trips for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, reading a good book, or cheering on the University of Kentucky sports teams. Each day, I strive to learn something new and become better at what I do.

 Travel is my passion, and there's nothing more rewarding than helping others experience the joy of a perfectly planned vacation. Get in touch today to get started planning the trip you’ve been dreaming about!
