With more than 30 years in the travel industry, I live and work from a home base in Fort Myers, Florida. I specialize in booking cruises and Tours for clients of all ages and personalities. With deep ties to my New York Italian family, I extend that same sense of community and care to helping clients of all ages create memorable journeys.
Harboring a personal love for globe-trotting, it was an easy choice for me to become a travel agent
I have sailed numerous times, hold a Specialist designation and routinely complete Travel Agent Training courses to stay current on new offerings and destinations. I also carry multiple certifications within the travel industry, including being a Certified Travel Consultant with the American Society of Travel Advisor (ASTA).
I thrive on helping travelers navigate the course of booking a trip from initial idea to port excursions and problem-solving while en route. I go the extra mile to plan unique itineraries for adventurous clients, such as combining Alaska cruises with fishing trips or Mediterranean cruises with independent rail such as sojourns through Italy. I am there for you until you return home.
When not traveling myself or putting together the perfect itinerary for clients, I seek out sun and sand, volunteer within my community, and connect with family and friends.
