Co-Owner & Travel Advisor, FTM Travel & Fairy TripMother

Greetings! This is me, happy as can be in Santorini. It was an iconic trip and those memories are etched in my heart. I am in the business of helping others discover unforgettable moments in beautiful, fun, and bucket-list destinations. I provide a service-based experience and my mission is to simplify the process of putting your vacation plans into motion and turn your overwhelmed feelings into excitement. I strive to exceed your expectations and deliver a plan for an exceptional journey.  The first step is to prepare for our consultation call. I would like to know more about you, your travel companions, vacation dreams, and desires. This information allows me to prepare for our call and make custom-tailored recommendations, it is an important part of the process. You will find links to the necessary forms as well as more information about my design services on this page.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Disney Destinations & Theme Park Vacations

My experience and love for booking travel to Disney Destinations runs deep. Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland, Adventures by Disney and Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii are the roots of FTM Travel and I remain committed to keeping my knowledge up-to-date on this vast product base. Our agency has earned the EarMarked distinction which recognizes our accomplishments.  FTM Travel is a Universal Preferred Partner and it's a treat to design Universal Vacations as well.  

When you partner with me on your theme park vacation, you benefit from my many years of experience as I design the details and educate you along the way. You will receive emails throughout the process that answer your questions before you even ask. I can look at the trip through the eyes of your family and give professional and solid advice. Plus, I want you to love your time there as much as I do so a lot of heart goes into the details! Your touring itinerary is shared 10-12 days prior to travel and we connect for a final call prior to your departure. Your plans are accessed through a convenient app and are designed to flow and help you make the most of your days. 

Why work with a travel advisor.

My heart for travel spills over into the plans I design for my clients.

I've been in the travel industry since 2005 and it is my dream come true to turn this passion of mine into my life's work. My first career was as an educator. I use my experience in planning, educating, and organizing to assist my clients and our team of advisors. When designing a vacation, I view it through the eyes of my clients and use my personal and professional experience to ensure they have the best trip possible. As an agency co-owner, a large part of our time is spent curating relationships with the suppliers and industry partners we choose to work with to provide you with the best experience possible. If you have scrolled down this far and filled out the form to get started, I thank you for trusting me with your precious vacation plans and I look forward to partnering with you!
