Travel isn’t just my career — it’s my passion.
With more than 30 years of customer service experience, I founded In Your Corner Travel to provide a higher level of personalized, relationship-driven vacation planning. My goal is simple: to make travel easier, more enjoyable, and completely tailored to each client’s unique travel style, interests, and budget.
As an ACC Certified (Accredited Cruise Counselor) and award-winning Travel Advisor, I specialize in luxury ocean cruises, river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, European vacations, Alaska cruises, and custom USA travel. Having personally sailed with Oceania Cruises, Explora Journeys, Celebrity Cruises, MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival Cruise Line, I provide firsthand knowledge and real-world insight to help clients confidently choose the right cruise line, itinerary, and vacation experience.
I believe exceptional travel planning goes far beyond making reservations. My clients value having a trusted advisor who simplifies the logistics, anticipates challenges, advocates on their behalf, and remains available from the first consultation through their safe return home.
Whether you’re planning a luxury cruise, a European adventure, an all-inclusive escape, an Alaska vacation, or a bucket-list journey closer to home, I’m committed to creating seamless, personalized travel experiences you’ll remember for years to come.
As the proud owner of In Your Corner Travel, and recipient of Best of Fauquier and Best of Culpeper, I’m honored to help travelers both locally and nationwide discover the world—always ensuring they have someone truly in their corner.
