    I have been a Travel Specialist since 2013. My favorite aspect of travel is helping couples with their destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversary trips and vow renewal. It's such a special moment in a couple's life and I love that I'm a part of creating this lasting memory. I also enjoy planning family and group travel too. 

    My favorite destination is Mexico! I love the beach, food, culture and they have the most amazing "Adult Only" resorts to enjoy! This is where my husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon and more recently renewed our wedding vows.
    ​I can't wait to be part of planning your special event.
