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 the kind of personalized, relationship-driven vacation planning I believe travelers deserve. My goal is simple: to make travel easier, more enjoyable, and completely tailored to your travel style, interests, and budget.
As an Accredited Cruise Counselor and award-winning Travel Advisor, I specialize in luxury ocean cruises, Europe, all-inclusive resorts, Alaska, custom USA vacations, and select group travel. Having personally sailed with Oceania Cruises, Explora Journeys, Celebrity Cruises, MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival Cruise Line, I bring firsthand knowledge and real-world insight to the planning process.
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—with someone truly in their corner.
