Have you ever wondered, “Which cruise line should I take my parents on for a spring vacation?” or “Which Caribbean islands are best for snorkeling?” Maybe you’ve asked, “Is Alaska really worth a trip?” These are the types of questions I often heard from family and friends long before I became a professional travel advisor. Why? Because I’ve been an avid traveler since I was two years old.
Born on the beautiful island of Bermuda, I started exploring the world early. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to visit more than 25 countries. My love for cruises began in the summer of 1985 with my first Caribbean cruise on the Cunard Countess. That week-long adventure ignited a passion for cruising that has led me to experience 45 cruises over the past 38 years. My extensive travels have given me in-depth knowledge of various cruise lines, destinations, and travel experiences. I can help you decide between a balcony cabin or an inside room and explain why a 9-day cruise might be the perfect fit for your travel goals.
In 2006, my then-travel agency recognized my expertise and invited me to join their team. One agent, in particular, saw my potential and encouraged me to pursue a career as a travel advisor. As a new mother of two, I waited until my youngest started preschool in the fall of 2007 before taking on this new role part-time. I immersed myself in training, learning the ins and outs of online booking systems, and quickly found my stride.
Fast forward to 2024, and I have had the pleasure of booking cruises for over 500 clients. I pride myself on my consultative approach, asking many questions to understand the deeper reasons behind my clients' travel desires. I’m not just an order taker; I’m a problem solver. Most travelers aren’t aware they’re addressing a need or solving a problem—they simply want to take a trip. My job is to uncover those underlying motivations through detailed conversations, allowing me to provide tailored travel options that truly resonate with each client.
