About Me
I am an Instructional Coach at an elementary school where I get to help bring magic to every learning environment. I also teach at the graduate level to help teachers support their readers in finding their happily ever afters! I love to read, write, travel, attend concerts and Broadway shows, and spend time with my husband, family, and friends. Like my favorite character, Ariel, I love to swim every day (I'm a secret merman). I can't wait to help you plan your next magical vacation!
About My Family
I grew up watching all the Disney movies with my brother and sister in Connecticut. We wore out those VHS tapes and memorized all of the lines. This is what sparked my love for Disney: sharing moments with my family and friends while traveling to magical places in our family room. I now live in New Jersey with my husband, who is a fellow educator and definitely worth melting for, and my cat, who is always up for snuggling while watching a Disney movie. We love to spend time with our family and friends both inside and outside of the Walt Disney World Resort!
About My Disney Experience
Growing up in the Disney Renaissance era, Disney has always been in my DNA. I went on my first trip to the Walt Disney World Resort in middle school and I have been hooked ever since. It is truly my happy place and a place I call home, especially because Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is my home resort with Disney Vacation Club. While I often travel with my husband and adult friends, I also love to travel with my family, including my niece and nephew, and I am always helping people experience their best trip ever! You can usually find me tasting my way around an EPCOT festival, rope-dropping Magic Kingdom Park, or conquering all of the Disney Mountains. After all, adventure is out there!
