Hi everyone, my name is Maria. I have been a Registered Nurse for almost 25 years. During my career I have worked with families and children as a labor & delivery nurse and then as a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I am now the School Nurse at a busy middle school in my home town.

I love to travel. I started cruising as a teenager with my family. My parents are avid travelers and cruisers. They instilled a sense of adventure in me from a young age. I met my husband while still in high school. He and I have travelled extensively since our college days.

We got married the weekend after September 11th 2001. Ironically, this was one of the few times in life I had used a travel agent. We had planned a 2 week honeymoon to Hawaii. Due to cancellations and disrupted schedules it became necessary for our agent to reschedule and rebook our entire honeymoon.

We now have two teenage boys who have been travelling since they were toddlers!!! They have inherited the same sense of adventure that was instilled in me at a young age. Our youngest has encyclopedic knowledge of the various cruise ships fleets and our oldest is currently interested in pursuing a career in Naval Architecture.

Over the years, I have planned dozens and dozens of trips for friends, family and co-workers. This has inevitably led me to get involved in the travel and cruise industry as a travel consultant.

After talking about doing this for years I finally connected with Cruise Brothers. This family business has been around since 1972. As an Independent Travel Consultant with Cruise Brothers, I am able to work from home part time while maintaining my full time School Nurse job.

I like to provide the same friendly, personalized service to my clients that I gave to friends, family and coworkers in the past.

I look forward to helping plan your next memorable vacation.
