I am a Certified Travel Counsellor (CTC) and independent travel advisor affiliated with Northstar Travel and Associates, specializing in European river cruises, small ship ocean voyages, and independent itineraries. With just over ten years of industry experience and personal travel across five of the seven continents, I bring rare firsthand depth to every itinerary I build — from river cruise journeys along the Rhine, Danube, and Moselle to immersive land programs through England, Italy, and Iceland.
My expertise in river cruising is particularly distinctive: having sailed with five different river cruise lines, I understand the nuanced differences in itinerary routing, onboard experience, and price point that determine which line is truly the right fit for each traveler. My preferred supplier relationships span Azamara, Windstar, Celebrity, Avalon, AMA, Globus, and Air Canada Vacations giving my clients access to well-established connections across the cruise and touring world. I am equally at home crafting a bespoke independent itinerary as I am designing a river cruise journey complete with pre- and post-trip extensions — because if you don't take some time at the beginning or end of your cruise, you're really missing out.
My path to travel advising began with a lifelong love of exploration — from childhood trips to Disney, to time spent with family in the south of England. After early career experience at a cruise-focused walk-in agency, I transitioned to independent advising, drawn by the desire to have the time to consult with clients to make their travel dreams come to life. That philosophy drives everything I do: matching each client with the experience that fits them.
I specialize in milestone travel — anniversaries, landmark birthdays, and graduations — where precision and personal touches matter most. I work best with travellers planning longer, more complex itineraries. My ideal client wants an advisor who will sweat every detail so they can simply show up and enjoy. Currently holding my Certified Travel Counsellor (CTC) designation and expanding my portfolio to include African safari travel following an upcoming journey to South Africa's Kruger region, I am a well-traveled, deeply connected advisor for the discerning traveler ready to experience the world at its best.
