I have been planning trips for students for 35 years! Cruising is my favorite way to travel—only unpack once and enjoy all the food and activities onboard. Exploring all the destinations throughout a cruise is the icing on the cake and learning the cultures of the area is the cherry on top! I believe that travel is an education we can offer to students that they cannot get in the classroom. I want all our student groups to experience all a destination has to offer and encourage them to get out and explore! I love planning everything for the group from start to finish, making the trip as stress-free as possible!

In my free time, I love to treasure hunt—garage sales, antique shops, and outdoor festivals. As an animal lover, I volunteer at our local shelter and give attention to the pets in need. I have a rescue dog named GiGi, who is the love of my life!
