After over 20 years in corporate and community event planning, organizing everything from health fairs to 5Ks, I finally realized that planning Disney was way more fun! I started as a concierge travel planner over five years ago and am excited to launch Sugarplum Travel in 2022. 

You can trust that I have the first-hand experience to assist you. Whether you’re traveling with toddlers or teens, I have been there and done that. I visit Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando regularly to experience and learn. (perks of the job, right?!)

I live just outside Charlotte, my birthplace, in a tiny town that welcomes over half a million visitors every December just to see the Christmas decorations. When I'm not coordinating vacations for my clients, you can probably find me at a dance competition with my sugarplum fairy, listening to the mariachi band in Epcot, or enjoying a frozen Butterbeer in front of Sugarplum's Sweet Shop in Diagon Alley. 

 After 16 years in the Direct Selling industry, it was time for a change to do something I truly love which is planning vacations, specifically Disney vacations. I am happy and honored to join Sugarplum Travel as of August 2022. 

I come with years of personal experience in traveling to Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland and Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii. From family vacations, trips with teens, toddlers, other couples and friends, I have experienced Disney in lots of ways. Additionally, I have experienced several trips to Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal. I am excited and delighted to assist you in planning yours!

I live an hour north of Charlotte that has been my home for over 25 years. When I’m not planning vacations, you can find me on the sidelines assistant coaching Volleyball for my teenage daughter. However on vacation you can find me enjoying a treat at Les Halles Boulangerie-Pastisserie in Paris….at Epcot, taking in the sights at the Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios or enjoying a chocolate frog from the Sweet Shop in Diagon Alley awaiting the dragon to breathe fire.

I am a Kansas native who moved to ChristmasTown USA in 2019. I make it a goal to experience Walt Disney World mutiple times a year, and my favorite snack is the cinnamon roll (with extra icing) from Gaston's Tavern. I stay busy with my two boys (one who is profoundly deaf) and one daughter. If you don't find me in line for Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot, I am probably on the sidelines of a basketball game cheering on my kids.
