About Me:

I was an inaugural member of the very first "Walt Disney World Moms Panel!" After beating out 10,000 applicants to secure a spot on the panel, I wished upon a star and it lead me right here working for Mickey, responsible for The Walt Disney World Moms Panel.

I am an avid Disneyphile and frequent visitor to Walt Disney World. I share my birthday with Disneyland, July 17, so I was destined to be a fan from birth! I am also a voice-over artist, a volunteer in my community, a food and wine aficionado and a wife and mother so enthralled with all things “mouse” that I named my daughter after a Disney Princess.

About My Family: I live with a multigenerational family that at one time included four generations of noisy and rambunctious women all under one roof! My Prince Charming is a computer analyst and an expert tennis player. My Fairy Godmother, who is also my mom, and I were co-owners of a successful family business, a hair salon that catered to women of color. My daughter is a wonderful swimmer and a tomboy with a love for princess gowns and tiaras.  We moved from New England to Orlando to be closer to the Mouse.

About My Disney Experience: By word of mouth, my love for Disney spread through my business. I received so many requests to help people plan their trips to Walt Disney World that I wrote a series of newsletters, e-mails and helpful tips. Over the last 20 years, I have helped hundreds of friends, family and clients navigate their trip planning. Most recently, I have concentrated my efforts on finding the best places to stay for multi-generational families, the best spots for fine dining and where to see the best architecture of Walt Disney World. I currently work for the Walt Disney World Resort.
