A Little More About Me

I grew up in Central Florida, where life revolved around being outside, whether that meant fishing, spring hopping, boating, or spending time on the water. Today, I live in Jacksonville with my husband, CJ, and our two kiddos, June and Henry. Our family has two seasons: Disney season and boating season.

As Disney Vacation Club owners, Disney has become one of our favorite places to make memories together. From fall through spring, you'll usually find us enjoying Disney resorts, cruises, and holiday celebrations. Once the weather warms up, we're at the sandbar, out on the river, or planning our next getaway. Give me sunshine, salty air, and a Pub Sub, and I'm happy.

When it comes to travel, I love experiences that make vacation feel effortless. My favorite ways to travel are sailing concierge on Disney Cruise Line and staying in Preferred Club accommodations at all-inclusive resorts. For me, luxury isn't about being flashy. It's about convenience, comfort, and having more time to enjoy the people you're traveling with.

That philosophy is exactly why I started Coastal Magic Travel Co. While I've spent the last 20 years building a career in healthcare leadership, helping others plan meaningful vacations has become a true passion. I believe vacations should feel like a reset, not a second job, and I love helping families, couples, and groups create trips that are personalized, memorable, and stress free.

Because the best vacations aren't the ones with the busiest itineraries. They're the ones that leave you feeling refreshed, connected, and already dreaming about the next adventure.

As a new business owner and travel advisor, I also created a private Facebook community where I share behind-the-scenes glimpses of building Coastal Magic Travel Co., travel tips and tricks, destination inspiration, and real experiences from both my own travels and client adventures. I'd love to have you join us!
