What’s your favorite part about what you do?

“I love helping all kinds of clients plan their dream vacations. Whether they’re looking for a resort getaway, theme park adventure, cruise, or once-in-a-lifetime trip, the joy I feel when they return and share that they had an amazing time warms my heart and keeps me motivated!”

How has your IBCCES training/credential helped you in your career?

“Becoming a Certified Autism Travel Professional™ has opened the door to a new group of clients I can support. As a volunteer with Special Olympics South Dakota, I’ve seen how many athletes have autism or other disabilities. Being able to assist their families in planning vacations and finding options that work best for their needs has been a true game-changer for me.”

How do you use/implement what you learned in the IBCCES certification training?

“I seek out resorts, hotels, restaurants, and attractions that are Certified Autism Centers™ for my clients. I also use my training to guide them step by step through the booking process, while answering their questions and ensuring they feel confident and supported throughout their travel planning.”
