Meet the Founder

Travel has always been part of who I am. As the daughter of an Air Force pilot—and later a commercial airline pilot—I quite literally grew up exploring the world, moving from place to place and learning early on how travel can broaden perspectives, deepen connections, and create lifelong memories.

With over 15 years of experience in the travel industry, I bring both professional expertise and personal passion to every trip I design. I am a Certified Travel Associate (CTA) and have worked in Finance for the airline industry, strategy for corporate Disney, and the travel agency space—giving me a well-rounded understanding of how to thoughtfully plan seamless, stress-free vacations.

I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, the United States, and the Caribbean traveling to over 60 countries. I have traveled with and without my children, which allows me to design trips that are realistic, well-paced, and meaningful for travelers at every stage of life. I specialize in family and multi-generational vacations, couple’s getaways, trips with friends, ocean and river cruises, Disney vacations, and customized European adventures.

At Recharge Travel, my goal is simple: to get to know you, your travel companions, and what you truly want from your vacation. Every itinerary is carefully curated to help you relax, reconnect, and return home feeling refreshed—because the best trips aren’t rushed, they’re thoughtfully planned.

Let’s get planning!
