I’m so flipping excited to be here and to start this adventure with you!
A little about me: I’m a former Web Developer turned Pastry Arts Student, turned Accounts Payable Admin, turned Business School Student, turned Mom, turned Caramel Confectioner, turned Preschool Receptionist, turned Restaurant Owner/GM, turned burned-out Business Owner, turned Bakery Product Developer… and now, finally, a Travel Advisor! Whew. That’s the first time I’ve written all that out. Gosh—I’ve done a few things!
I’ve been married for 20 years, have a teenage son (yes, he’s driving now!), and live in a suburb outside of Richmond, Virginia with our dog Biscuit and our cat Leo. I grew up in Massachusetts before moving to Virginia in high school.
My passion for travel is unquenchable—truly. The moment a trip starts, I’m already dreading that it’ll end. I love it so much that I have been known to plan the next vacation while I’m still on the current one! It’s my favorite kind of self-care. In recent years, I’ve cherished taking trips with my mom and sisters—those memories have become priceless.
I never met a vacation I didn’t like, but cruises are definitely my jam. That said, I also adore a gorgeous villa, a beach rental, or a dreamy all-inclusive resort. The beauty of travel is that it can be completely customized to your unique style—and that’s exactly what I’m here to do for you!
You might be wondering: “Why use a Travel Advisor when I can just book everything online myself?” Great question—and you’re right, you can plan your own trips! But let’s be real: it takes time, patience, and a whole lot of research to get it just right. That’s where I come in.
As your Travel Advisor, I’ll get to know you—your preferences, your past travel experiences, your ideal destinations, and even how you like to spend your free time. All of this helps me craft an itinerary tailored specifically to you (and your friends or family). There’s no fee for my service, and thanks to Fora’s affiliation with Virtuoso and other luxury partnerships, I can offer you exclusive perks and upgrades—at no extra cost. These might include:
• Early check-in & late check-out
• Room upgrades
• Spa & dining credits
• Curated experiences
• VIP amenities & insider access
So, how do I get paid? Simple: the travel supplier (hotel, resort, cruise line, etc.) pays me a commission after your trip. No extra cost to you—and you get personalized service and exclusive perks in return.
Now ask yourself: Why haven’t you been using a Travel Advisor?!
Take back your time (and your sanity), and go treat yourself to a mani/pedi. You deserve it.
No trip is too small, and no destination too “boring.” Whether it’s a romantic weekend, a family theme park adventure, or a big international getaway—I’d love to help. I also handle business travel!
If you have questions or want to start planning, please reach out. I can’t wait to work with you!
