About
I’m a creative-minded travel planning professional and visual storyteller who loves crafting memorable experiences for both families and brands. As a travel agent (freelance/independent contractor), I plan and book personalized Disney Park and cruise vacations, handling research, itinerary building, and details like payments, changes, and client communication—so every trip feels smooth from start to finish.
I also bring a strong marketing and design background, producing engaging social media content and promotional materials for events and businesses. From coordinating KidsFest events and managing marketing for a local chiropractic practice to designing graphics and creating custom freelance illustrations, I combine content strategy, customer-focused problem solving, and polished visuals to help audiences connect and keep coming back.
