My Travel Guarantee to You
First and foremost, you’ll travel knowing that I’m available to assist you during your journey. In addition:
Worldwide Network
I have cultivated a worldwide network of suppliers and continue to travel extensively, bolstering my knowledge of the destinations I offer while vetting vendors, guides, and escorts. In 2018, my husband accepted a position in London, which allowed me easy access to exploring the UK, Ireland, and Europe. We made the decision to return to the US in 2021 and now reside in Florida.
Montecito Village Travel
My affiliation with Montecito Village Travel provides me with perks and advantages unavailable to the general public through the Virtuoso Consortium. MVT offers extensive access to contemporary and luxury suppliers, worldwide on-sites, and corporate programs … the sky is the limit when it comes to resources for planning our client’s travel.

I also am a Destination Specialist for Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, Jamaica, Scotland and Italy and I’m always expanding my training and gaining new certifications.
