Meet Your Destination Wedding Planners

I’m a big believer that the universe will always give you what you ask for! Originally from Wisconsin, I'm now a proud South Florida sun addict, with travel being a core part of my everyday life.

After spending the first 30 years of my life in beautiful Wisconsin, I followed my heart (and my soon-to-be husband) to sunny South Florida. With 15 years of experience directing creative teams in the global advertising industry, I took the leap in 2022 to join the Destination Weddings Expert team, sharing their passion for creating unforgettable destination wedding experiences. My goal is to help each of our amazing couples create a dream wedding they'll cherish and talk about for years to come!

When I'm not geeking out in a Google Spreadsheet, you'll find me outside with our dog, Max, or planning our next adventure to a new and exciting destination.

Your fun-loving, cocktail-sipping, world-exploring, celebration travel expert!

Travel isn’t just my passion – it’s my life! Think of me as Carmen Sandiego if she were a real person. Growing up, travel helped me reclaim my voice and self-esteem after being bullied. I began my travel career in 2010, focusing on helping women take more vacations. I soon discovered my superpower: planning group travel celebrations like destination weddings, milestone birthday trips, and holiday getaways.

As a Chicago native, I spend my winters escaping the “Hawk” (those strong Chicago winds) by exploring beautiful Caribbean landscapes. My love of food and wine has taken me through Europe and South America, and now I’m excited to taste my way through Africa and Asia.

I’m thrilled to work alongside this amazing team at Destination Weddings Expert, bringing our couples' visions to life!

I'm a native Floridian who thrives in warm weather! After living in California and Arizona, I'm happily back in sunny South Florida.

My first love was travel. My first international trip was a group trip to Mexico in 9th grade, and I was hooked! But the highlight was meeting my future husband in Cabo San Lucas in 1992. (Fun fact: Van Halen was playing live at the bar!) He left but flew back two days later, and the rest is history! We've been married for 28+ years and have four wonderful kids. Our first all-inclusive vacation was our honeymoon at Sandals Montego Bay in 1993. I still cherish the flip-flop charm I bought there.

I adore animals and have had up to seven pugs at once – they look adorable in sweaters! There's likely a cat lounging on my desk while I’m working.

I could happily live on ceviche and dessert. I've enjoyed my favorite beverage in 23 countries and more than half of the U.S. My life is better than my daydreams!
