As your exclusive travel agent and advisor, I personalize your travel preferences, customize your travel itinerary, prioritize special needs, seek elevated experiences for you, and offer you the attention you deserve.
In addition to traveling for first hand experience, I also expand my expertise with continuing education in the industry. I work with my clients to build relationships of trust and transparency. I am also fun to travel with on my "travel with me" trips!
I am a Certified Travel Agent, and a member of CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) and ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors). I have extensive training with cruise lines, tour companies, and other suppliers. I am also certified with the state of Alaska for tourism, and have an extensive network of suppliers and specialists to work with.

My greatest adventure has been being married to my best friend for over 30 years, raising our 6 kids, and now enjoying grandkids! I feel so very blessed to be able to have the amazing experience of traveling the world and helping others do the same. A few of my favorite things are snorkeling, whale watching, musical theatre, college sports, and ice cream. I am not a fan of traffic jams, ham, or mosquitos.
5th Avenue Travel Adventures was born after a few years of creating custom itineraries for friends traveling to New York City and a desire to do something new after becoming an empty nester. Travel planning combines things I love: travel, new adventures, research, planning, and serving others. Designing travel has expanded from New York City to ocean cruises, river cruises, and custom trips around the world.
I get to know my clients and focus on their individual needs and preferences, as well as those traveling with them. Each trip is also unique and requires understanding clients' needs, preferences, and dreams to deliver tailor-made travel experiences.
Industry education, industry relationships, and travel experience allow me to provide expert advice, exclusive opportunities, and personalized travel experiences.
I build relationships with honesty, transparency, and reliability. Integrity in every interaction is essential in building trust in those relationships.
I prioritize the needs and well being of all those I serve to provide inclusive experiences and accommodate travelers of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities.
