Travel Advisor

I grew up just outside of London, which is where my love of traveling began. It was important to my parents to take me and my siblings with them wherever they traveled. So, from a very early age, we were fortunate enough to experience destinations such as Morocco, Tunisia, Italy, and Spain, as well as the United States whenever my father had business there.

We spent entire summers in remote Spanish fishing villages, where I learned what it was like to be completely immersed in a different language and culture. I loved the hustle and bustle of the busy markets, and also grew fond of the quiet, white sand beaches, but my favorite memories of all are of the food. Tapas, to this day, remain my favorite way of eating. The strong smell of garlic sizzling away takes me back to those days in an instant, and is now my favorite way to entertain friends and family.

In 1998 my family relocated to Orlando, the home of the "Most Magical Place on Earth" and it is here that I met my husband and we started our family. In 2013, we created a VIP concierge service that specializes in Disney VIP Tours and as the business grew, so did the need for my clients to book Orlando hotels. In 2017, I joined Travel Experts to expand our services beyond Orlando and the theme parks, and offer new experiences for our guests all over the world.

My goal as an advisor is to provide tailor-made "Unforgettable Experiences" for individuals, couples, and families so they can build some of their most joyful moments around the world.
