Three-Time Virtuoso Cruise ICON | 2024, 2025 & 2026
I am incredibly honoured to have earned the prestigious Virtuoso Cruise ICON recognition for three consecutive years, celebrating outstanding achievement in luxury cruise sales.
This recognition reflects my passion for the cruise industry, my commitment to exceptional service and, most importantly, the trust my clients have placed in me over the years. I am truly grateful to everyone who has allowed me to be part of their travel adventures!
Personalized Service, With a Personal Touch
I operate from my home office in the Vancouver area, where I provide personalized travel planning for clients throughout Canada and the United States.
I'm available Monday through Friday during regular business hours, although you'll often find me working longer hours when needed and occasionally on weekends. Travel doesn't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can rely on when questions or unexpected situations arise.
And if you happen to hear a little barking in the background during our phone conversations, that's Zoe, my adorable miniature schnauzer! She's my little office companion and occasionally likes to make her presence known.
A Team You Can Count On
One of the things I value most about my travel business is the wonderful team of travel advisors I work alongside.
For more than 20 years, I've had the pleasure of working with Alan, North and Darrin, three highly experienced, top-producing Virtuoso travel advisors.
Although we each manage our own clients, we support one another whenever needed. When I'm traveling for work, I remain available to assist my clients whenever possible. However, if I'm in a different time zone, out exploring a destination or temporarily unavailable, my colleagues are happy to step in. I do the same for their clients when they're away.
It's reassuring to know that my clients have access to a trusted team of experienced professionals, even when I'm exploring another corner of the world!
Travel Has Always Been a Family Affair
Some of my most treasured memories have been made while traveling with my two sons.
During the early years of motherhood, family-friendly cruises became a big part of our adventures. We enjoyed many wonderful vacations together, including two Disney cruises that my boys still talk about today!
As they grew older, our travels expanded to destinations farther from home, including Paris and a Mediterranean cruise. Experiencing the world through their eyes has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
Now that my sons are older and growing more independent, I've entered an exciting new chapter where I have more freedom to continue exploring the world.
Travel has enriched my life in so many ways, and I love helping other families, couples and individuals create their own unforgettable memories.
Life Beyond Travel
When I'm not planning vacations or exploring new destinations, you'll usually find me doing something active, whether I'm playing pickleball or shredding the slopes on my snowboard!
I've been teaching group fitness classes since 1999, and I still teach my favourite advanced step fitness class every Saturday morning. I love the energy, the choreography and the wonderful friendships I've built over the years.
I'm also passionate about dancing. Growing up, I always dreamed of taking dance lessons and being part of a dance team. I'm thrilled to say that I've finally made that dream come true!
It's Never Too Late to Follow a Dream
I'm now a proud member of an all-women's dance team called the "House" Wives of Hip Hop. Earlier this year, we took first place in a dance competition, which was also my very first competition!
It was such an exciting and rewarding experience, and I'm looking forward to more performances and competitions with this incredible group of women.
I truly believe it's never too late to pursue something you've always dreamed of doing!

Whether you're dreaming of an Alaskan cruise, a European river voyage, a luxurious escape or an unforgettable journey to somewhere you've always wanted to visit, I would love to help you make it happen.
I can also create customized vacations tailored to your interests, preferred destinations and the sights you've always dreamed of exploring. From arranging flights and hotels to planning multi-destination journeys and pre- or post-cruise stays, I can help bring all the pieces together.
I take pride in offering honest recommendations, personalized service and the benefit of decades of travel experience. My goal is to help you find the vacation that's right for you, not simply book a trip.
