About Me
An anesthesiologist specializing in obstetrics, by day I'm the doctor who makes laboring women happy. By night though, I masquerade as my friends' and family's official Disney vacation planner. I'm a self-confessed Anglophile and love a good fairytale -- real or imagined.
In my spare time I love to cook, travel the nation and world, and try new restaurants with my husband. I love planning parties (especially for kids' birthdays) and am obsessed with creating a beautiful home via DIY, renovating and decorating.
About My Family
I gained an instant family when I married a Scotsman who is so much more than his dreamy accent. We’ve since added three more children to the mix, making for a big, boisterous crowd at home. With two young adults and three tweens, we’re a living embodiment of some of Disney’s greatest creations. Our oldest would go to infinity and beyond for his siblings, and our oldest daughter is a quiet but fierce Belle. Our youngest girl channels all the princesses in their love for animals, and our twin boys are obsessed with Black Panther and Hawkeye. Like any good Disney family, our dog’s name is Hamish, in honor of our Scottish roots and one of our favorite movies, Brave. We love spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen, and since moving to Florida we spend a lot of time outside, especially in the pool. And of course, we take every opportunity we can to head up to Disney World. There’s nothing nicer than hearing the cheerful "Welcome home!" that greets us each time we arrive at our home away from home.
About My Disney Experience
We joined Disney Vacation Club the first Christmas after we were married when we took our two oldest children to Disney World as a Christmas surprise. Staying on property, with the flexibility to fit our family's style and budget, was a no-brainer!
Our home resorts are Animal Kingdom Villas (we love the animals, and the food there is our favorite on property) and Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge (where we enjoy the proximity to Magic Kingdom).
Since moving to Florida, we’ve taken full advantage of our proximity to Disney World and the Dole Whips at Disney's Vero Beach Resort. We’ve stayed at almost every Disney Vacation Club property and love them all, and we can't wait to experience the new Villas at Disneyland Hotel.
