About Me
I’m a wife, a mom, and a friend to all animals (but especially cats!). I grew up just a hop, skip, and tram ride from Disneyland Resort in Southern California before my family and I traded palm trees for ponderosas and moved to beautiful Colorado in 2016.
When I’m not deep in spreadsheets in my Disney-themed office, anchored by my favorite reminder that “you are never too old for fairy tales”, you’ll find me tending our small farm, sipping sweet tea on the porch, or dreaming up my next Disney adventure. Whether I’m exploring Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, or one of the numerous Disney Vacation Club Resorts, I’m always chasing little moments of magic.

About My Family
My Navy Veteran husband and I share a love for both the great outdoors and great adventures! Our two grown children have grown up as Disney fans and have celebrated many milestones at Disneyland Resort. We now get to experience the parks as a multi-generational family, with my dad and my brother’s young family! Whether we’re gathered at home on the farm, camping and four-wheeling the Colorado mountain trails, or on a Disney adventure together, our family believes laughter and shared memories are the true treasures of life, and that tough times make the fun times even sweeter. A churro, a stroll down Pixar Pier, and a bit of pixie dust keep us smiling!
About My Disney Experience
I’ve been lucky enough to experience all four planDisney vacation specialties, but my heart soars when I step foot through the Disneyland main gates! No matter which Disney Destination we adventure to, every trip adds another chapter to our story. I’m passionate about helping others plan vacations filled with wonder, ease, and those special details that make Disney so unforgettable. Whether you are looking for the best snack (Churro, for me!) or where to find a quiet place for your little one to rest (there are several!), I can’t wait to help you have the happiest trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!
