As both a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP 25834486) and parent of a neurodivergent child, I understand firsthand that thoughtful planning transforms travel.
Whether you’re coordinating a family vacation, celebrating a milestone, or embarking on a long-awaited retirement adventure, I help travelers navigate challenges with confidence and create meaningful memories along the way.
My journey into sensory-friendly travel planning started when our child was just 5 months old. Like typical first-time (and honestly, type A project manager) parents, we dove deep into research and planning for every trip - from flight schedules to backup plans for backup plans. We quickly discovered that thorough preparation was the key to successful family adventures.
When our kiddo was older and received a formal neurotype diagnosis, we realized we'd already been using many of the strategies that work beautifully for neurodiverse travelers. The same detailed planning, routine-building, and environmental awareness that made us confident parents also made our family incredibly skilled at navigating new places together.
Fast-forward to today: Our child is a seasoned world traveler who recently celebrated their 100th flight.
That journey taught me something important: with the right preparation, support, and expectations, more people can travel successfully than they realize.
Whether I’m helping a neurodivergent family navigate Disney, coordinating a multi-generational reunion cruise, or planning a retirement celebration overseas, my goal is the same: remove barriers and build confidence so travelers can focus on the experience itself.

I approach every trip with both professional expertise and personal understanding. My background ensures meticulous attention to detail, while my experience as a parent of a neurodivergent child helps me anticipate challenges before they become problems.
Whether we're maximizing your time at Disney, finding the perfect accessible cabin on a cruise, or creating a structured yet flexible itinerary for exploring new cultures, I plan with the precision of someone who truly gets it.
Over time, I’ve discovered that many of the same skills that help families travel successfully also help travelers navigating major life transitions.

Because when families can travel comfortably, they create the kinds of memories that last a lifetime.
