~ Turning My Passion for Travel Into Your Next Adventure ~
For as long as I can remember, travel has been one of the great joys of my life. My love for it started in childhood, with family road trips from New Jersey each summer. Whether it was relaxing at a beach house in Myrtle Beach, discovering the magic of Walt Disney World, or soaking in the charm of Williamsburg and Cape Cod, those early experiences lit a spark in me.
The spark became a flame in 2010 when I took my very first cruise aboard the Norwegian Dawn with my parents and sister. That moment—stepping onto the ship, feeling the excitement of the open sea, and experiencing destinations in a new way—changed everything. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to enjoy over 16 cruises on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity, and Virgin Voyages, as well as private ship tours with other top brands like Disney Cruise Line, MSC, Princess, and Explora Journeys.
But my passion for travel reaches far beyond the ocean waves. Memorable adventures have taken me from rainforest hanging bridges and volcanic hot springs in Costa Rica, to swimming in underground rivers in Mexico, to exploring over 24 vibrant Caribbean islands. Each journey has deepened my appreciation for the diverse cultures, breathtaking scenery, and one-of-a-kind experiences our world has to offer.
Like many, the pandemic prompted me to reflect on what I truly wanted out of life. I realized I was ready to align my career with my greatest passion—travel. So, I dove headfirst into the industry, completing every training course and certification I could find. In the early Fall of 2022, I opened my own agency, Triton Vacations, and earned my Certified Travel Associate designation from The Travel Institute. Since then, I have become a proud member of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and I’ve added more than 50 certifications from the top names in travel, including:
- Royal Caribbean International Master of Adventure
- Celebrity Cruises Certified Expert
- Princess Cruises Commodore Level Certified Expert
- Virgin Voyages Gold Level Certified First Mate
- Norwegian Cruise Line Master’s Degree
- Holland America Line Platinum Level
- Carnival Diamond Level Graduate
- AmaWaterways Certified Advisor
- Hilton All-Inclusive Resorts
- Cruise Planners Disney Specialist
- Viking River Cruise Specialist
- Sandals & Beaches Certified Specialist
- Universal Orlando & Universal Studios Hollywood Specialist
- Trafalgar Master Class
- World of Hyatt Inclusive-Collection Certified Confidant
In 2024, I took the next big step: I expanded my business by becoming a Cruise Planners franchise owner. Partnering with Cruise Planners, an industry leader since 1994, allows me to combine my personal expertise with their unparalleled reputation and resources. This means my clients not only enjoy the peace of mind that comes with working with a trusted agency, but also benefit from exclusive offers, exceptional pricing, and insider access to some of the best travel experiences in the world. My goal is simple: to make your next vacation more than just a trip—it should be the kind of experience that leaves you with stories, memories, and moments you’ll carry forever. From the magic of the Caribbean to the history of Europe, from river cruises to all-inclusive resorts, or even just a weekend getaway with family, I’m here to bring your vision to life.
So when you’re ready to plan your next adventure, I’d love to be your guide. With me, you’ll gain a travel partner who has walked the walk (and sailed the seas), knows the ins and outs of the industry, and is committed to making your journey unforgettable. Let’s create your next great travel story together.
