She turned 36 in September.
"Being named to Travel Industry's 40 Under 40 is a profound honor that validates the passion and dedication I've poured into my agency since its inception in 2016. This recognition underscores the importance of our work in the travel industry – we're not just planning trips, we're designing life-changing experiences and memories. It's a testament to the trust our clients place in us with their most valuable resource: time. While the job can be challenging and often unpredictable, knowing that we play a crucial role in creating some of the best moments in our clients' lives makes every effort worthwhile. This accolade reinvigorates my commitment to excellence and innovation in travel planning. It's a reminder that in our industry, success is measured not just in sales and bookings, but in the lasting impact we have on people's lives through the power of travel."

"I have worked with Theresa since 2016 when she planned a special Disney World trip for my family and me. I am not sure she even knows what that trip meant to us. It was the last time we went to Disney with my father before he passed. To have her coordinate the ins and outs of Disney housing, food, and parks was a blessing and a huge weight lifted off our shoulders so we could have the best trip possible, knowing it would be our last with our dad," said client Lindsay Carnes.
"I recommend Theresa to anyone I can because I know that when she touches a trip it will turn to gold. It can be extremely intimidating to even start the planning process or go to a foreign country where you only know a tiny bit of the language and culture, but Theresa makes the experience seamless by being detail-oriented and curating an experience and support system like no other."
