Adventures designed for life beyond the 9-5
Full-Service Travel Agency
After decades of exploring the world with family, friends, and on my own, I realized travel had completely transformed my life. It stretched me, humbled me, taught me how to think on my feet, and showed me what’s possible when you step outside your comfort zone. As a former teacher and public educator, I also know what it feels like to watch precious spring breaks and summers slip by because there simply wasn’t time to plan something meaningful. I’ve lived the “there’s no time” reality — and that’s exactly why I created 5 to 9 Travels.
Somewhere along the way, planning trips became more than just logistics — it became a passion. I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, where to splurge, where to save, and how to design experiences that feel intentional instead of overwhelming. I’m an achiever at heart, so I don’t just book trips — I execute them with excellence. My strength in individualization means no cookie-cutter vacations; your trip is built around you. As a lifelong learner, I’m constantly researching and refining my expertise. And with strategy as one of my core strengths, I anticipate challenges before they happen and create seamless, well-thought-out plans.
With 5 to 9 Travels, my mission is simple: help busy customers use their PTO that they’ve worked so hard to earn. It deserves to be spent — without the stress of planning. Travel changed my life. Now I help make sure it changes yours, too.

✨ HOW IT WORKS ✨
Initial Inquiry
Complete the form below to begin designing your next adventure. Even if your ideas are still forming, that’s okay — this is simply the blueprint stage, and we’ll shape the details from there.
Quick Chat
I’ll connect with you using your preferred method of contact to dive deeper into your travel preferences and goals. The more I know, the more intentionally I can craft an experience that feels exactly right.
Plan & Design
Once I understand your vision, I get to work designing a detailed, personalized itinerary. If something doesn’t feel quite right, we’ll adjust it. You’ll receive up to three carefully refined versions to ensure your adventure is exactly as it should be.
Documentation & Signatures
Once you confirm the final itinerary I’ll get your signatures, collect your passport information, and you’ll complete the credit card authorization form.
Processing & Review
I make the reservations and final copies are sent to you for review. It’s important you give everything a final check within 24 hours of completing the booking.
Away You Go!
We’ll stay in touch leading up to the trip, making sure you have everything you need. While enjoying your adventure, have peace of mind with in-destination contacts and knowing you can also text me with any last minute questions or issues that arise.
Current Certifications
As a former public educator and literacy leader, I have a passion for learning. Learning about locations through visits and courses is part of my daily practice. Here is a list of my completed travel advisor certifications:
The USA Disney Destinations
As soon as I signed my contract to be a contracted travel advisor, I prioritized completing Disney’s College of Knowledge. Since I’ve been on multiple trips to Walt Disney World in Orlando, the Disneyland Resort in California, and sailed twice on the Disney Cruise Line, I knew I could easily help others plan their perfect Disney trip. If you’d like help planning your Disney trip, make sure to complete the Interest Form or email me at 5to9travelagent@gmail.com.
Universal Orlando Resort
I have enjoyed visiting the Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood parks! I prioritized my Universal Orlando certification because of the *new* EPIC UNIVERSE park! Fans of Super Nintendo World will love becoming a part of the action and I can’t tell you how excited I am to enter the How to Train Your Dragon portal for the opportunity to meet Toothless and other dragons! If you’re looking to plan a trip to Universal Orlando and not sure where to start, make sure to complete the Interest Form or email me at 5to9travelagent@gmail.com.
