FOUNDER & PILGRIMAGE TRAVEL DESIGNER

Travel and faith have always been woven into my life.
I was born and raised Catholic in a rural Texas town, but it was not until I began a re-catechesis in the Catholic faith in 2015 that my spiritual journey began to unfold. Two years later, I had a profound, life-changing encounter and within a few weeks, I was on a plane headed to the Holy Land. It was on that pilgrimage that I received the calling to lead and organize group pilgrimages. A short time later, Amazing Grace Pilgrimages, LLC was formed. ​
​
To date, I have organized over 150 customized pilgrimages, and the AGP pilgrimage community continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with dozens of repeat travelers. I work specifically with Catholic priests and tour hosts from all over the United States.
​
In addition to pilgrimage travel, my own international travels include Australia, Israel, Jordan, Greece, Mexico, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, England, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Liechtenstein, Ireland, Tahiti, Guam, Bahamas, St. Marteen, Grenada, Aruba, Anguilla, Grand Cayman, Canada, and the Netherlands.
​
I hold a Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership and Management. And my background includes being a classroom teacher, an educational trainer for a major publishing company, an educational group travel leader, and a flight attendant for Continental Airlines.
I live in the Houston area with my wonderful husband of 25 years and proud mom to three grown children.
