Get to Know Jessica…
In 2015, I began my career as a travel advisor, focusing on family theme park vacations. Within a few years, I became the agency’s top producer among more than 140 advisors, planning over $1 million in vacations annually. I also served on its Board of Directors and as Vice President of Training, bringing strategy, organization, and support to advisors across the country.
Those leadership experiences helped shape my vision for an agency of my own. As the families I served grew and their interests expanded beyond theme parks, I wanted to grow alongside them. After a decade in travel planning, I founded Lantern Lane Travel Company in 2025, creating space for more destinations, deeper relationships, and a shared commitment to thoughtful, personal service.
Today, Lantern Lane is a team of warmhearted, passionate travel advisors united by a simple promise: to guide with intention, serve with heart, and shine a light on every detail. Together, we offer elevated, bespoke travel planning that helps our clients explore confidently and joyfully.
Working directly with clients remains at the heart of what I do. I specialize in Walt Disney World®, Disney Cruise Line®, Disneyland®, Adventures by Disney®, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, and Universal Orlando Resort. Whether I’m helping a family plan their first visit or discover something new at a favorite destination, my goal is to make the planning feel manageable and the vacation feel unmistakably theirs.
Born and raised in South Carolina, I live in Mount Pleasant with my husband and our two children. My love of travel planning began with a family gift—and a vacation that changed more than we could have imagined.
With my husband working as a first responder, our early family vacations were modest: weekend trips around the state, nearby camping adventures, and stays at family-owned getaways. Then, in 2012, my mother gifted us a seven-night, all-expenses-paid trip to Walt Disney World®.
Unsure when we might have the opportunity to return, I poured myself into planning every detail. There were hours of research, countless spreadsheets, and, of course, matching outfits for each day. I often joke that I planned more for that trip than I did for my wedding.
The experience was so special that we started planning our next Disney vacation on the drive home. Annual visits followed, creating some of my most treasured family memories and revealing how much I enjoyed turning careful planning into meaningful experiences.
