During my 25 year tenure at AAA Carolinas, I was a sales leader earning Presidents Club distinction every year since its inception.

In 2016 and 2019 I was also recognized as having the top overall sales for the AAA National Association. In 2015 and again in 2017 I was named by TravelAgent Magazine as a ‘TOP 25 ALL STAR’. I'm a Certified Travel Counselor and Accredited Cruise Counselor and hold many Destination Specialist accreditations, including the following areas: Caribbean, Western Europe, USA, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Latin America, Australia, South Pacific, East Asia and Africa. I am also accredited as a LifeStyle Travel Specialist in the areas of Luxury Travel and Destination Weddings/Honeymoons.

I have completed numerous certification programs with specific destination tourist boards including Jamaica, Bahamas, Cancun, Aruba, Hawaii, Turks & Caicos, and the U.S. I have also completed many cruiseline (Princess Cruises, Holland America, Carnival Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity) and river cruise (AMA Waterways, Uniworld River Cruises, Viking River Cruises, American Queen Steamboat Company, American Cruise Lines) and tour company (Collette Vacations, Trafalgar Tours, Insight Vacations, Walt Disney Travel Company) specific certification/training programs.

Whatever your travel plans are, I will be able to assist you in creating the vacation of your dreams and help you receive the best value for your money. I will question things that don’t make sense so that they do not affect your vacation. I will be straightforward and not give you a sales pitch as I am confident in my ability to exceed your needs, expectations and desires while getting you a great value.
