For 25 years, I worked at Allied Van Lines, the moving company that helps people move from one place to another. As a travel advisor for the past 20-plus years, I’m still helping people move around the world. When I plan a client’s trip, I like to focus on their heritage and research their family tree whenever possible. One of the best trips I’ve ever planned, in fact, was for a client who wanted to go to Germany to find his family castle. I got him on an AmaWaterways river cruise and hired him a private driver for two days to take him to the family castle and graves and to explore the town where his ancestors once lived. St. Thomas and Hawaii of two of my favorite destinations. I enjoy walking around and soaking up the beautiful scenery. I collect a rock from every destination I visit. My dad always taught me it’s something that doesn’t cost you anything but will give you all the memories you have of the city. We always write the date and place where we picked it up. My husband and I like to round dance and ballroom dance. My other hobby is bowling. I have four kids, two grandsons and two granddaughters, and two dogs.
