About Me

For as long as I can remember, travel has been a big part of my life and integral to making lasting memories with those that I love. To date, my husband and I have visited 26 countries, 22 states and been on 10 cruises and I still can’t get enough of all the amazing cultures, people, food and beauty that the world has to offer.

As a communications director of 14 years, I take pride in my ability to not only manage and organize every trip but also to communicate with my travelers well to minimize the stress of travel planning. From the initial intake call to debriefing after your trip, I will walk with you every step of the way and ensure you are treated like the VIP you are.

When Im not planning my traveler’s or my own next big trip, you can find me cuddling with Buster (🐶), Zilch (🐈‍⬛), and whatever foster pup is currently in our care, scouting out the next great restaurant or coffee shop in Atlanta, jamming out at concerts, and enjoying life with my amazing husband and friends!

In 2005, my mom, TJ, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Despite the odds, we enjoyed an additional 10 years with her. During those years, we built many memories through travel that I will forever treasure. My goal is to help others create unforgettable memories with their loved ones that they can hold on to no matter what life brings. In honor of my mom, “True Joy TJ “ I spread joy through Traveling Joy.
