Travel Designer

After my first trip to Cancun for Spring Break I was hooked! I have made it a mission to get a break from Minnesota winters ever since. Fast forward, working as a Buyer for Target, I got to travel to Europe and Asia which only expanded my desire to experience new places. In my next role, I led the planning team for meetings and corporate events. For years, I have been our family's travel planner coordinating many extended family getaways. Colleen and I connected over a couple girl's trips she planned for some friends and I. I was so impressed with the entire experience. I wanted to be a part of it! I saw the opportunity to take my skill set and love for travel to design memorable vacations for others. My areas of specialty are oceanic cruising, international beach destinations, and select European destinations.

I love to travel and see the world! Aaberg Travel has created many amazing trips for my family over the years, including 3 weeks across Europe and many beach destinations. Aruba, Costa Rica & St. Lucia are a few of my favorite vacation spots. After working with Colleen and Pat and seeing what first class service they provide, I knew I wanted to be a part of their team. Now I get to assist you in going on the trip of your dreams. My accounting & auditing background gives me great attention to detail to confirm key logistical details so your trip is a success. I will help plan & book the trip of a lifetime or a quick getaway. I can’t wait to help you find your next favorite spot! My areas of specialty are international beach destinations and select European destinations.

Travel Designer

After years of exploring Europe, Asia, and far‑flung corners of the globe, I’m thrilled to bring my first-hand travel experience to the Aaberg Travel Design team. I specialize in designing meaningful, detail-driven journeys that go beyond the typical itinerary—whether that’s uncovering hidden gems in Europe, immersing in the cultural richness of Asia, or crafting once-in-a-lifetime adventures to lesser known destinations.  Before travel planning became my full time focus, I worked for many years as a bedside nurse. That role taught me invaluable lessons: how precious time with loved ones is, how new experiences refresh us, and how important attention to detail and care is in everything we do. I believe travel done right is a gift: a chance to reconnect, to grow, to see the world—and to make every moment count. I plan not just what’s beautiful and memorable—but what feels authentic for you. 

Operations

My immediate and extended family have been fortunate to experience several incredible trips planned by Aaberg Travel Design. The memories created and the seamless experiences we've had are truly invaluable. Each journey is stress-free, professionally planned, and every detail is meticulously handled by the Aaberg Travel Design team. I was thrilled to join this team, as they consistently provide these remarkable experiences for countless other families and groups. Efficiency is my love language, so I'm passionate about streamlining processes and leveraging technology to make travel planning easier, faster, and better. I also love adding special touches at amazing resorts and properties to ensure our clients feel like the VIPs they are upon arrival!

Marketing

I was eighteen the first time I flew overseas. It was a spring-break trip to France with my high school French department, and I was completely enthralled with everything. From my first croque-monsieur to seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night, I knew I could never get enough of traveling the world! It's a true pleasure to be part of Colleen and Pat's team. Seeing them make clients' travel dreams come to life like mine did is nothing short of inspiring. I love being able to bring the Aaberg Travel Design brand to life by developing content for the website, social media, and beyond. As a marketer, it's my goal to tell the story of Aaberg Travel Design in the materials clients see before, during, and after their journey!
