My Story

I came into travel advising the way most good things happen—because I couldn’t stop doing it anyway. After years working in the award travel space, I realized I had been helping people plan incredible trips and maximize their points and miles long before anyone was paying me for it. Eventually, it just made sense to make it official.

I specialize in Hawai’i, Mexico, cruises, and California—destinations I know well and genuinely love. When it comes to hotels, I’ll find you whatever fits your style and budget, though I’ll probably nudge you toward a boutique property if you give me half a chance. Chain hotels are fine. Character is better.

What sets me apart is my background in award travel. I understand points, miles, and loyalty programs in a way most travel advisors don’t — which means I can often find ways to get my clients free hotel nights or airfare that they never knew were available to them. Value isn’t just about finding a good rate. It’s about knowing the full picture.

My approach is simple—I’m honest, I’m straightforward, and I don’t take myself too seriously. I’ll tell you exactly what I think, find you the best deal I can, and have a little fun along the way. Travel should be exciting from the moment you start planning it, not stressful.

At the end of the day, I became a travel advisor because I am genuinely passionate about helping people experience new places. There is nothing better than knowing someone is out there having the trip of their life because of a booking I made for them.

Travel Style

My travel vibe? Sassy, savvy, and never settling.

I’m the traveler who knows that the best room in the house doesn’t always cost the most—it just takes someone who knows where to look. I prefer boutique over bland and character over cookie-cutter, and I genuinely believe that a great hotel is part of the experience, not just a place to sleep.

I’ve logged enough miles to know which airports have the best lounges, which cruise lines are worth the hype, and exactly why that “great deal” on a chain hotel isn’t actually a great deal. I travel smart, I travel in style, and I rarely pay full price for either.

I earned the title (and own the company) The Points Princess. Years spent mastering award travel means I know how to turn everyday spending into free flights and hotel nights that most people don’t even know are possible. And now I love sharing that knowledge with anyone willing to listen.

I want the experience, the view, and the story worth telling—and I want to get there without leaving money on the table. I book boutique when I can, all-inclusive when it makes sense, and I always check what perks I’m leaving on the table before I hit confirm.

Travel should feel like a treat from the moment you start planning it. That’s exactly the experience I bring to every single client.
