I believe the best things in life are the experiences we share and the memories we create along the way. Travel gives us the opportunity to step outside the everyday, experience something new, and return home with stories worth telling for years to come. Handpicked Travel Co. exists to make those experiences feel effortless, with thoughtful planning, trusted guidance, and every detail considered so you can simply be there and enjoy it.
Before entering the travel industry, I spent my career as a senior-level marketing executive in new home construction, where project management, strategy, organization, and attention to detail were part of my everyday life. My love for travel began early in life. Knowing I wanted to build something of my own, becoming a travel advisor felt like a natural next chapter.
Today, I bring that same strategic mindset to every trip I plan. I love taking all the moving pieces of travel and turning them into a seamless experience where you know you're in good hands. My goal is simple: to thoughtfully guide you toward the right choices, anticipate the details, and make sure your time away feels exactly like it should, time away.
Outside of travel, I'm a wife and mom of two teenagers, two dogs and a cat. They keep life interesting to say the least. We travel as a family often, because I truly believe experiences are far more valuable, and far more memorable than things.
Some of my favorite journeys have taken me through Italy, Spain, across the Mediterranean, to Alaska by ocean cruise, and to the relaxing shores of Hawaii. I love the food, the culture, and the ability to experience a destination at its own pace.
And while I'm meticulous when planning a trip, I also believe there is something wonderful about having nowhere to be, whether that's lingering over a meal, wandering through a new city, or spending an entire afternoon simply enjoying the sun and doing absolutely nothing.
Planning travel should feel exciting, not like another project on your to-do list. I handle the research, logistics, reservations, and details so you can focus on the part that matters most: looking forward to the experience.
Whether you're dreaming of a European escape, a river or ocean cruise, or somewhere warm and wonderfully removed from everyday life, I'll help you navigate the possibilities and create a journey that feels seamless, effortless, and distinctly yours.
