About Me
I am an Instructional Coach at an elementary school, where I help create learning environments that honor not just growth, but everything students, families, and teachers carry with them. I also lead workshops that support teachers in bringing skills, confidence, and care into harmony, while helping learners find their voice along the way. I love to read, write, travel, attend concerts and Broadway shows, and spend time with my husband, family, and friends. Like my favorite character, Ariel, I love to swim regularly (I'm a secret merman). I can't wait to help you plan a Disney vacation filled with moments that come together into a meaningful symphony of memories.
About My Family
I grew up watching all the Disney movies with my brother and sister in Connecticut, wearing out VHS tapes and memorizing all of the lines. Those shared moments sparked my love for Disney. It was not just the stories on the screen, but the way those moments connected us. Today, I live in New Jersey with my husband, a fellow educator, where our melodies blend and our life unfolds as a duet. We love spending time with our family and friends, both inside and outside of the Walt Disney World Resort, where those shared moments come together in ways that stay with us.
About My Disney Experience
Growing up in the Disney Renaissance era, Disney has always been in my DNA. I went on my first trip to the Walt Disney World Resort in middle school, and I have been hooked ever since. It is truly my happy place and a place I call home, especially because Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is my home resort with Disney Vacation Club. While I often travel with my husband and adult friends, I also love to travel with my family, including my niece and nephew. Those shared trips, across different seasons of life, are where the magic really comes together. You can often find me tasting my way around an EPCOT festival, checking off another hotel on my Disney Resorts Collection Hotel bucket list, or conquering all of the Disney Mountains. Every trip has its own rhythm, and together, those moments become something bigger.
