My Story | Shades Signature Travel

I’ve been part of the travel industry for over 10 years and officially launched Shades Travel in 2022. As my business grew, I recently rebranded to Shades Signature Travel to reflect my focus on creating more personalized and elevated travel experiences while still keeping travel approachable, enjoyable, and stress free. I love getting to know my clients and helping them find vacations that truly fit their travel style, interests, and budget. From relaxing beach escapes and cruises to guided tours and group travel, I’m here to make planning easier so you can simply enjoy the journey. One of the best parts of my job is exploring new destinations myself, so I can return home with stories, insights, and recommendations that help my clients create unforgettable journeys of their own.

I can't wait to help you plan your next adventure!

Travel has always been about more than just the destination for me. I love the excitement of planning something special, discovering new places and cultures, and creating memories that stay with you long after you return home. That passion for travel, combined with my background in organization and planning, naturally led me into the travel industry. After earning my Business Degree from Trent University, I spent 30 years working with the Ontario Government as a Procurement Analyst and Policy Advisor with the Ministry of Natural Resources. Those years taught me the importance of communication, attention to detail, and making sure things run smoothly, skills I now bring to every trip I plan.
