About me
My Story
Travel On The Spectrum
Be The Pearl Story
I'm a mom of three incredible children, all somewhere on the autism spectrum. Now that they’re adults, each navigating their own path, one thing remains constant—their love for travel. Over the years I’ve learned firsthand what makes travel both accessible and enjoyable for individuals and families living with autism.
Be The Pearl Story
Travel On The Spectrum
Be The Pearl Story
After an amazing honeymoon to Jamaica and a fabulous trip to Universal Orlando with my husband and kids, I knew that being a Travel Agent was the perfect path for me. I founded Be The Pearl Travel because I believe that travel should be stress-free and filled with joy. I named my business after a phrase I often tell my kids: "The world is your oyster, be the pearl."
