Meet The Planner
Growing up in sunny Florida, I was fortunate enough to visit Walt Disney World® Resort countless times, igniting a lifelong passion for all things Disney. Those early visits sparked a deep love for the magic, and it’s something that has only grown stronger over the years.
As an adult, my connection to Disney expanded even further. I’ve continued to explore the Disney destinations, and with each trip, I’ve become more captivated by the art of planning unforgettable vacations. From picking the perfect resort to securing those coveted dining reservations, I found myself drawn to the joy of crafting seamless Disney experiences for others.
A trip to Disneyland® Resort was the catalyst that solidified my dream of becoming a travel planner that specializes in Disney destinations. I immediately got to work on turning this passion into a profession.
To further my expertise, I earned my annual certification from the College of Disney Knowledge, an essential credential for travel planners specializing in Disney destinations. This education has deepened my knowledge of the Disney parks, resorts, and experiences, ensuring I can offer you the most up-to-date insights and the best advice possible.
With years of Disney adventures under my belt, a keen eye for detail, and a love for making memories, I’m here to take the stress out of your vacation planning. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, I’ll help you navigate all the details so you can focus on what truly matters—creating magical memories.
Fun facts about me!
I am a proud Pacific Northwesterner from Washington state, where the misty mountains and lush pine forests are the backdrop to my everyday life. Though I may be farther from Disney destinations than some, I stay at the heart of the magic—constantly staying up to date on the latest news and traveling to experience it firsthand.
I’m an Enneagram 9, known as 'The Peacemaker'—part of a personality framework that describes nine core types, each with unique traits. As a Peacemaker, I naturally seek harmony and go out of my way to create a peaceful experience. You can count on me to listen closely to your needs and ensure your trip is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
When I’m not planning Disney trips, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen, perfecting a fluffy loaf of artisan or sourdough bread. As a self-taught baker, this passion has given me an even greater appreciation for the treats served across Disney destinations—I can’t help but take note of every delicious detail!
Planning trips for every family
Growing up in a big family, I learned firsthand how important it is to plan a Disney trip that works for everyone—especially when a loved one has unique needs. As an older brother to a little sister with Down syndrome (see image), I’ve experienced the challenges and joys of making sure every family member, regardless of age or ability, has a magical time. That’s why I specialize in helping families and/or those traveling with disabilities—navigate Disney with ease. From Lightning Lane strategies to accessible accommodations and sensory-friendly recommendations, I’ll make sure your vacation is stress-free, inclusive, and unforgettable.
I believe in creating magic for everyone. I proudly celebrate diversity and welcome clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, ethnicities, abilities, and beliefs. Kindness, respect, and love are at the heart of everything I do because everyone deserves a little magic.
