Travel is the ultimate connector—a bridge between cultures, perspectives, and the shared human experience.

For Sue, the beauty of travel is in discovering how uniquely we live, yet how interconnected we are. She feels privileged to understand her clients personally, crafting one-of-a-kind journeys tailored to their dreams. With detailed research and a passion for flawless execution, Sue brings her clients’ travel visions to life, transforming wanderlust into meaningful adventures and cherished memories.

Sue’s love of travel began on a family vacation when her children were young. These moments—stepping away from the bustle of daily life—revealed the power of travel to create lasting bonds and nurture connections. These experiences shaped her belief that travel is more than a getaway; it’s a gift. From family trips to multigenerational escapes with her grandchildren, Sue has made travel a priority, weaving it into her life.

With a business degree from the University of Missouri St. Louis and an MBA from Maryville University, Sue spent nearly 20 years as a Systems Manager at Washington University. Her attention to detail and love of planning naturally made her the go-to for organizing travel, from spa getaways to adventurous family trips, eventually inspiring her to pursue travel professionally.

In 2014, Sue began her career in travel and joined SmartFlyer in 2015. Her work is personal, rooted in the belief that travel should inspire, refresh, and leave a lasting impact. Sue specializes in bespoke itineraries, whether for serene escapes, cultural immersion, or adventures to uncharted destinations. Sue believes in the magic of travel: timeless memories, discovery, and meaningful connections. She invites her clients to embrace the extraordinary and let her design a journey as unique as they are.
