The Person Behind
the MagicNanny. Runner. Disney obsessive. The person your friends meant when they said you needed to call someone.
Twenty-One Years With Families.
Hundreds of Days at Disney.
I grew up in Florida, which means I grew up with Walt Disney World. But it was during my years living in Orlando as a professional nanny that my relationship with the parks became something different — something expert. I used the annual pass my full-time nanny job provided to guide families through the parks on weekends, learning every strategy, every shortcut, every resort quirk, and every trick that separates a magical trip from a stressful one.
I have been a nanny for twenty-one years, caring for children in distinguished families in Washington DC, New York City, Orlando, and Gainesville. I hold a Master of Science in Family, Youth, and Community Sciences from the University of Florida. I know children. I know what they need at different ages, what exhausts them, what delights them, and what families expect from exceptional travel experiences.
In 2025, after helping the families I knew with their Disney trips unofficially for years, I became a certified travel advisor and founded Tallest Tower Travel. Every family I have worked with has left Disney surprised by how much they enjoyed it. That is not a coincidence — it is what happens when someone who genuinely loves Disney plans your trip with the instincts of a professional caregiver used to working with discerning families.
The Experience
Behind Every Trip
This Is Not a Hobby.
It Is a Calling.
Most people who love Disney love it the way you love a great restaurant — enthusiastically, but without knowing what goes on in the kitchen. I know the kitchen. Every resort’s specific advantages and disadvantages. Every park’s rhythm across different seasons. The dining reservations worth fighting for and the ones that are not. The Lightning Lane strategies that actually work for families with young children versus those built for thrill seekers.
I also know what families with high standards actually need. The monorail resorts are not just convenient — for certain families and certain ages, they are the difference between a trip that works and one that does not. A character dining experience at the right moment can be the highlight of a child’s year. An itinerary that does not account for a three-year-old’s 3pm energy crash is a recipe for a difficult afternoon.
I have seen Disney through the eyes of every kind of family. I know how to build the trip that is right for yours.

When Disney Meets
the Finish Line
I am a RunDisney participant, not just a planner. I have completed the Disney World Marathon, multiple Princess Half Marathon weekends, and the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge. I know the expo, the costume strategy, the corral system, the course, and the particular magic of running through the parks before they open to the public.
If you are planning a RunDisney event, you are not just planning a race — you are planning a Disney trip with a race in it. I can handle both, from training calendar to character photo stops on the course.
