During my 20 years of experience in luxury leisure, business and event travel, I have traveled extensively, visiting more than 35 countries on four continents. Throughout my career, I have built lasting relationships with hoteliers and other travel providers worldwide. These connections enable me to provide my clients with special experiences and other benefits.

Additionally, being part of Protravel International puts the power and clout of one of the world’s biggest and best-known travel agencies behind everything I do. As a Virtuoso agency, Protravel clients also have access to a wide array of value-added benefits at top hotels around the world, from free Wi-Fi and breakfasts to spa and food credits.

I am devoted to my clients. For example, a client wanted to nail down accommodations for Super Bowl in 2020 in Miami more than a year before the event. Hotels do not release their rates so far out, and so many homes are for sale in the area that it was hard to find someone willing to commit. He had tried to find a villa or home rental on his own, but could not. I not only found a house for him but negotiated a price that was within the budget he had set.

I also pride myself on helping families, friend groups and couples find exactly what they are looking for. Often that means helping them focus on what it is they would really enjoy, even when they cannot put it into words.

One couple came to me saying they wanted a romantic beach honeymoon. Beach vacations take many forms and it is easy to get lost in a sea of choices. I helped them pinpoint all the important things they wanted but could not articulate. I learned that they wanted to honeymoon at a beautiful beach destination that felt exotic and where none of their friends had gone. For them, Corsica was the perfect choice. It is gorgeous and there was a lot to do—both as a couple and in party mode.

I discovered that I loved travel planning as much as I loved traveling early on. I grew up in Canada, but my first job took me to live in the Dominican Republic, where I worked for an airline, promoting and arrange group travel. After a few years, my husband and I opened our own destination management company. For 18 years we arranged programs in the Dominican Republic for high-end corporate incentives and groups. We got to know every nook and cranny of the country and were able to tailor excursions to each client’s themes and goals.

From there, I moved to Bordeaux, France, using it as a base to explore France, Italy, Spain and beyond and taking advantage of the wine culture to learn all about wine. In 2017, I moved to Florida and joined Protravel, where I love combining my expertise with the advantages Protravel provides to curate amazing experiences for my clients.
