My Story

Jen loves to travel and was raised in a family who truly valued vacation and always made the most of any trip. Whether they were scaling ancient ruins in Guatemala, biking around a campground at a National Park, or spending fun-filled days at Disney, she learned to love it all. And now she is working hard to instill the same love of travel in her own family (and it seems to be working) while helping

Her first memory of vacation is going to Disney is as a toddler with her parents almost 2 years after the Magic Kingdom opened. Since then she has returned dozens of times as a child, a teen, a young adult and as a parent. Her most magical memories have been those that have been made at Disney with her own family while watching them come to love Disney as much as she does. Each visit is a chance to try something new - whether a restaurant, hotel, tour, or show - they try to make every visit special by adding a new experience to their list. Her children have grown up at Disney and their first visits each took place when they were around 1 year old. Now, teens, the trip itinerary looks a bit different than it did 17 years ago, but they still love the magic of Disney and look forward to each new adventure there. In 2015 Jen and her husband joined the Disney Vacation Club to ensure that their family would have years of Disney ahead to share with their children and their own families. Two of her most favorite Disney memories took place in 2015 when her daughter had the amazing opportunity to perform in the Candlelight Processional at Epcot with her school choir, and crossing the finish line of a runDisney 10k with her son. She has extensive experience at Walt Disney World and can assist with creating the perfect customized trip for groups from 1-25, or more, to fit just about any budget! But that’s not all she can do! When she is not on a Disney trip you will likely find Jen planning their next trip to a Sandals Resort with friends, or a Beaches Resort with the family After honeymooning at a Sandals in Jamaica 20 years ago, they fell in love with Sandals all-inclusive vacations and it has become one of their go-to spots on a regular basis. They have enjoyed more than 7 of the all-inclusive properties (some more than once) and already have the next trip planned!

She is also a club level cruiser on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and has enjoyed many of their ships in the last 20 years. She is also a Norwegian Cruise Line cruiser and Disney Cruise Line cruiser, so she’s got a lot of experience and tips to make cruising a fabulous option for anyone looking to set sail. She has great stories to share from shore excursions, onboard activities and overall cruising tips that have made her trips better every time.
