The Woman Behind the Stories
About Gina
Before I Sold Trips
I Fed People
I spent fourteen years in catering before I ever booked a single vacation. What I learned there is the same thing that runs through everything I do now: people remember the moments when someone was paying close attention. A perfectly timed course, a detail nobody else would've noticed, a problem solved before the guest even knew there was one. That's hospitality. It turns out travel advising is the exact same job — just with better views.
I live in Angleton, Texas, with my husband Lloyd — my travel companion of 42 years and counting.
What I'm Known For
Group Cruises, Rivers, and the Fine Details of Europe
Group cruises are where I've built real, provable momentum. My first hosted group — an Alaska sailing — filled 59 cabins with 124 passengers. Right now I'm actively filling my Hawaii group aboard Norwegian Pride of America, already at 33 cabins booked toward a goal of 50. I hold the CLIA Group Cruise Specialist certification, and growing group business is a real priority for me — if you want a trip that turns a boatload of strangers into a crew, this is my specialty.
Beyond groups, river cruising is where my heart lives — slow travel, big castles, and rivers that move at exactly the right pace for a good story to unfold. From there, I specialize in FIT Europe, ocean cruising, and Alaska, where I've personally traveled four times.
By the Numbers
I sell more Norwegian Cruise Line than any other advisor in my agency — out of 525 agents.

Why I Do This
I ask my clients what they don't want just as often as what they do. Protecting someone from the wrong trip matters just as much as planning the right one.
If a destination, ship, or itinerary isn't going to give you what you're actually looking for, I'll tell you — even if it means a longer conversation before we find the right fit.
