Jennie Underwood
President and Lead Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
For as long as I can remember, Disney vacations have held a special place in my heart. As a child, I was incredibly fortunate to visit Disney almost every year, each trip brimming with wonder and joy. Those early experiences left an indelible mark on me, igniting a lifelong love for Disney and its magic. As I grew older and had children of my own, I discovered the joy of seeing Disney through their eyes – a perspective that made the experience even more magical. Watching their faces light up with excitement and wonder was a dream come true, and the memories we created during those vacations became some of the most cherished times we have as a family.
When the opportunity arose for me to help other families create their own magical vacation memories while taking the hassle and stress out of planning, I knew it was the perfect business for me. For nearly a decade now, I have had the immense pleasure of planning vacations for families to destinations all around the world. From the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to luxurious cruises and exciting adventures across Europe, I have dedicated myself to ensuring that each trip is as seamless and stress-free as possible.
My goal is to craft personalized travel experiences that cater to the unique desires and needs of each family, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the joy of their vacation without worrying about the details. Whether it’s coordinating every aspect of a Disney adventure, arranging a relaxing beach getaway, or planning a culturally rich European tour, I am committed to making your travel dreams come true. I believe that vacations are not just about the destinations but also about the memories and connections made along the way.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family, helping you to create unforgettable memories and magical moments that will last a lifetime. Let me take care of the planning so you can focus on enjoying every moment of your adventure. Together, we’ll make your dream vacation a reality!
Lya Chowning
Certified Travel Coach & Senior Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I’ve always believed there is something transformative about travel. There’s a feeling that comes from waking up somewhere beautiful, slowing down, and allowing yourself to be fully present. Those are the moments that stay with us long after we return home.
As a Travel Advisor with TMC Premier Travel, I specialize in thoughtfully designed luxury journeys to extraordinary destinations around the world. I’ve spent over three decades traveling personally and more than twenty years helping others plan their journeys — including extensive time cruising the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Hawaii. That depth of firsthand experience, paired with a genuine passion for discovering beautiful places, shapes the personal perspective and attention to detail I bring to every trip I plan. For me, that means paying attention to how everything comes together — the pacing, the details, the way a trip actually feels once you’re in it.
I’m also a Certified Travel Coach — a distinction that reflects how I think about travel, not just how I plan it. I’ve traveled through nearly every life stage myself — as a young couple, through the family years, with extended family in tow, and now as an empty nester — and I’ve seen firsthand how the right trip, at the right time, can shift your entire outlook. Travel, done well, isn’t an escape from life — it’s a way of coming back to it with more clarity. That’s the lens I bring to every itinerary I build, whether it’s a milestone celebration or a much-needed reset.

My goal is to make these unique experiences attainable for all my clients so that families, couples, and individuals can create cherished memories while learning about our wide and wonderful world. I am passionate about helping others explore and experience the world in ways that are meaningful and memorable.
As a Travel Advisor with TMC Premier Travel, I have access to suppliers all over the world, both on land and at sea, to make people’s dream vacations a reality. I bring a wealth of knowledge about destinations around the world, including Alaska and Italy. I can’t think of a better way to spend at least three more decades!

We couldn’t be more excited to combine our friendship and passion for travel to help others plan their next great adventure. Two lifelong friends, one dream team, and so many places still to explore!
Jill Thibault
Senior Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
My passion for travel has always driven me to explore new places, try new things, and embark on adventures I once only dreamed of. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting some of the warmest and most beautiful destinations in the Caribbean, including the Bahamas and Antigua. Each trip has left me with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our world.
Disney World holds a special place in my heart, and I’ve been fortunate enough to visit multiple times. The magic and wonder of Disney never fail to captivate me, and I cherish every moment spent there. However, my favorite trip to date has been a remarkable 15-day land tour and cruise to Alaska. The breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, and awe-inspiring experiences of Alaska are something everyone should witness at least once in their lifetime.
Today, I channel my love for travel into helping others plan their dream vacations. There’s nothing more fulfilling than assisting someone in creating an itinerary that turns their travel dreams into reality. I am dedicated to providing personalized and thoughtful travel planning services, ensuring every detail is meticulously arranged for an unforgettable experience.
I look forward to working with you and helping you embark on adventures that you’ve always dreamed of. Whether it’s a relaxing beach getaway, an exhilarating theme park visit, or an awe-inspiring cruise, I’m here to make your travel dreams come true. Let’s start planning your next incredible journey together!
Ann Bell
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
Travel has always been more than just a vacation for me—it’s been the way my family has celebrated life, connected with one another, and created memories that have lasted a lifetime. Some of our happiest moments have been spent exploring new destinations together, laughing through unexpected adventures, and making traditions we’ll always cherish.
Disney has held an especially meaningful place in our hearts. From the excitement of planning each trip to the magic of walking down Main Street, every visit has brought us closer together. Disney taught us that the most treasured souvenirs aren’t the ones you buy—they’re the memories you make with the people you love.
Those experiences inspired my passion for helping others create unforgettable vacations of their own. I know firsthand that a thoughtfully planned trip can become a family’s favorite story for years to come. Whether it’s a magical Disney getaway, a relaxing beach escape, or the adventure of a lifetime, I believe every journey is an opportunity to make memories that will be cherished forever.
Helping families experience that same joy, excitement, and connection is more than a career for me—it’s a privilege. Because the best destinations don’t just take you somewhere new; they bring the people you love even closer together.
Michelle Bonczek
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
My love for travel began when I was young and my family would travel every year to amazing destinations. But Disney World was my absolute favorite; the magic, the wonder, the feeling of being mesmerized by everything. And nothing prepares you for the feeling of walking down Main Street with your own children, watching them experience that magic for the first time.
On a more personal note, I am the parent of a disabled child. My husband and I held off traveling with our son for many years because we thought it would be too difficult, but when we were finally brave enough to try Disney with him, we realized how accessible and accommodating they are in every area; the parks, rides, restaurants, resorts and even the transportation.
Traveling with a family member or friend with special needs can come with extra anxiety and stress. I understand the challenges and apprehension. If you’re dreaming of a trip with a special needs traveler, but you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, let me help you build a trip that works for YOUR family’s needs.
Along with my vast knowledge of Disney, I have expansive resources available for other destinations, including cruises and all–inclusive resorts (both adult only and family friendly). You pick the destination and I’ll handle the rest!
Don’t wait for the perfect time to travel; it doesn’t exist! Adventures and memories are out there waiting, and I’d love to help you make that dream vacation a reality!
Allyson Bozeman
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for travel! There’s so much to gain from the experiences traveling provides. My journey began with family trips as a child, whether it was a getaway to the beach or an adventure in the mountains. My excitement for travel didn’t end there—I continued exploring throughout college, and now, as a mom of three, I make it a priority to pass on this tradition with my boys. There’s something truly special about packing for a trip, loading up the car, and hitting the open road.
I’ve had the chance to experience a wide variety of travel, from beach vacations and mountain escapes to exploring big cities, and even enjoying the magic of Disney and Universal. Each trip has created unforgettable memories with my family that we’ll cherish forever.
When the opportunity arose to share my passion for travel with others, I knew it was meant to be. My goal is to provide every family I work with a seamless, stress-free experience, so they can focus on creating magical memories that will last a lifetime. I’m excited for the chance to help plan your next unforgettable adventure!
Kelly Carpenter
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I am so excited to be joining the TMC family! As a nurse and busy mom of two I’ve always cherished the time we spend exploring the world together—especially on cruises. Traveling with my kids has shown me how meaningful, exciting, and bonding these experiences can be. That love of adventure inspired me to become a travel agent. I wanted to help other families discover the joy of stress-free vacations, unforgettable destinations, and kid-friendly travel. Now, I use my passion and firsthand experience to create memorable cruise and family travel experiences for others.
Celine Crete
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
My name is Celine Crete, and I’m proud to be a wife, mother of two wonderful daughters, and grandmother to five amazing grandchildren—one princess and four princes. After a 40-year career in healthcare, including 25 years as a registered nurse, I’m excited to pursue my long-time passion for travel in a more professional way.
My love for travel began with memorable family vacations to Walt Disney World. Over time, that passion grew into a love for cruising and all-inclusive resorts. I’ve enjoyed helping family, friends, and coworkers plan unforgettable getaways and have personally traveled to Aruba three times, staying at the beautiful Divi Aruba All-Inclusive Resort.
Now, I’m turning that passion into a business. My goal is to create personalized travel experiences for clients who want trusted guidance and thoughtful planning. I look forward to building lasting relationships and becoming the travel advisor you count on—trip after trip!

Samantha Kramer
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I am so excited to be a part of the TMC Premier Travel team! For as long as I can remember, I have loved traveling, not just experiencing new places, but also planning and organizing every detail. I am the type who starts researching the next getaway the moment I return home from the last!
I have experienced the magic of multiple Disney destinations and have sailed on several cruises, each one different and exciting in its own way. Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape, an adventure-filled itinerary, or something perfectly in between, I would love to help you plan a vacation that fits your style and leaves lasting memories. One of my biggest personal goals is to visit every Disney park around the world, and I cannot wait to check them off one by one!
In the spring of 2025, I completed the Disney College Program, where I had the incredible opportunity to work at my favorite resort, Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside. That experience not only strengthened my love for Disney, but also gave me valuable insider knowledge that I now bring into planning unforgettable vacations for others.
As a travel advisor, my goal is to help people experience the same joy, wonder, and anticipation that travel brings to me. Whether you are dreaming of a magical Disney vacation, setting sail on a cruise, experiencing new adventures, or planning a peaceful getaway, I would love to help you create memories that last a lifetime!
Karl Lander
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
Travel has always been a passion of mine, especially when it comes to creating unforgettable vacation experiences with family. As a husband and father of four, I know how special it is to make memories together. Over the years, I’ve visited Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Aulani, with six Disney resort stays under my belt. I enjoy the planning process just as much as the vacation itself, from researching resorts and comparing options to discovering those special experiences that make each trip memorable.
My favorite travel style combines adventure, relaxation, and making memories together. One of my favorite destinations is Disney’s Aulani in Hawaii, which offers the perfect blend of Disney magic and relaxation. From catamaran excursions and snorkeling to enjoying some adults-only time while the kids explore the resort’s children’s activities, I appreciate all the experiences that make a vacation special for everyone.
Turning my passion for travel and planning into helping other families create vacations they’ll remember for a lifetime is something I’m truly excited about. I believe every family deserves a trip that fits their interests, budget, and dreams. My goal is to make every client feel confident, supported, and well taken care of throughout the planning process and beyond. I also look forward to continuing to explore new destinations and expand my knowledge so I can share helpful tips, insights, and recommendations with my clients.
Chris Luce
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
My passion for family vacations began in childhood, sparked by those early trips to Walt Disney World with my aunt. Her careful planning made family vacations smoother and more enjoyable, inspiring my lifelong love for travel. Now, I’m excited to help other families get the most out of their vacations with that same care and passion.
As a full-time firefighter, I value family time and cherish the moments spent with my wonderful wife and two amazing children, who are my pride and joy. Disney World remains my favorite destination, and I’ve been fortunate enough to visit every year or two since childhood. However, I’m dedicated to working hard for my clients, no matter where their travels take them. From the Northwoods of Maine to the jungles of Costa Rica and the magic of Main Street USA, I’ve explored it all.
I look forward to helping you create lasting memories for your family and am excited to share my vast knowledge of Walt Disney World. Thank you for your interest in TMC Premier Travel!

I am thrilled to join TMC Premier Travel! I bring my passion for travel and my experience as a mother of three to every adventure I plan. Cherishing family outings and the discovery of hidden gems, I combine my love for exploring new places and experiencing history firsthand to create unforgettable journeys for families, couples, and solo travelers.
Natural wonders such as the Great Smoky Mountains and Yellowstone National Park hold a special place in my heart, serving as endless sources of inspiration for immersive and memorable travel experiences. These breathtaking landscapes fuel my desire to introduce others to the beauty and serenity of the natural world. My favorite destinations include the stunning US National Parks, where nature’s splendor is on full display, and the magical realms of Walt Disney World, where dreams come true for travelers of all ages.
In addition to my love for land-based adventures, I enjoy the flexibility and excitement of cruises. With the ability to wake up in a new part of the world each day, cruises offer a unique blend of relaxation and exploration that I find irresistible.
I am dedicated to crafting personalized travel experiences that cater to the unique needs and desires of my clients. Whether it’s a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a solo expedition, I am committed to making every trip an unforgettable adventure.
Maggie Papiez
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I am very excited and proud to be apart of TMC Premier Travel team. I am a wife and mother of 3 beautiful children who share my love and passion for Disney. Thankfully my hubby and three kids are as mesmerized by Disney, Mickey and all his friends as I am. We love to travel, and our favorite vacations always involve Disney.
Although I fell in love with Walt Disney World as a child, there was nothing like the feeling I got as I watched my own children experience the magic for the first time. We were all hooked after that first family vacation, and it hasn’t changed after all these years! I want to share my all my knowledge, experience and passion of Disney and travel with everyone so they can experience and feel the magic too.
My first and most memorable experience of Disney World as a child was coming around the corner on Mainstreet and seeing the Castle for the first time, that feeling was absolutely magical and brought tear to my eyes (still does). I have taken many trips to Walt Disney world and have learned and experienced so much along the way, from solo trips to large family trips. I not only want to plan Magical, Memorable, Vacations, but unforgettable experiences as well.
Marissa Pellegrini
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
Hi, I’m Marissa travel enthusiast, proud mom, and someone who truly understands how meaningful time away can be.
I’m a stay-at-home mom of 10 years, raising a beautiful blended family. I have a wonderful stepson, a beautiful daughter and son of my own, and an absolute joy of a grandson. My family is my world, and it’s shaped the way I see travel. It’s not just as a trip, but it is time to connect, slow down, and make memories that last forever.
After dedicating the past decade to being home with my children, I’m excited and ready to step back into the workforce doing something I genuinely love. Travel planning allows me to combine my passion for organization, my love of helping others, and my understanding of how precious (and limited) family time really is.
I am excited to create stress-free, personalized travel experience, especially for busy families and individuals who want memorable trips without the overwhelm. I could handle the details, research, and planning so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
Whether it’s a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a much needed escape, I’m here to make travel feel easy, thoughtful, and tailored just for you.
Rachel Petitto
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I’ve always been “the planner”. Any trip I take with friends, I am the one who organizes the itinerary from flights to hotels to landmarks to restaurants. It took years for me to realize I could make a business out of this.
I activate the minute I get the message, “Hey, Rachel. I was thinking of traveling to….” I love the feeling of sending someone on an adventure to create amazing memories. And I love the process of researching new places for people to explore based on their personalities.
One of the best trips I planned (and took) was to Italy. As an Italian-American, going to this beautiful country was a phenomenal experience. From the food to the people to the famous landmarks, I was excited to be immersed in the culture.
I have been an official Travel Advisor for about 10 years now, but I am SUPER excited to join the team at TMC Premier Travel! When I’m not booking travel for others or exploring the world myself, you can find me at theme parks (Disney & Universal), the theater, watching movies/tv, or hanging with my beagle Abby.
I am thrilled to help plan the vacation of your dreams, no matter where you want to roam.
Krystal Rendon
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
My passion for travel began at 30,000 feet. During my time as a flight attendant, I learned the ins and outs of the industry while helping people reach destinations all across the country. But it was my own personal journeys that truly captured the magic of travel for me — from an unforgettable honeymoon in Kauai to a deeply meaningful trip to the Florida Keys with my daughter.
Now, as a recent graduate and a passionate foodie, I combine my insider industry knowledge with thoughtful research to craft one-of-a-kind itineraries. While I dream of future culinary adventures overseas, my true focus is helping you create meaningful memories — one beautiful trip at a time.
LeeAnn Shearon
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
Hi, I’m Lee Ann, and I believe some of life’s best memories are made when families step away from the everyday and experience something new together. As a mom of three, I know how busy life can get. Between work, school, activities, and everything in between, finding the time to research, compare options, and plan all the details of a vacation can feel like one more thing on an already full to-do list. But I also know just how special those family trips can be.
I love traveling with my own family and getting to see the world through my kids’ eyes. Whether it’s watching them experience something for the very first time, discovering a new place, or seeing their eyes light up when they meet a favorite character, those are the moments that make traveling so special to me. It’s those memories that remind me why family vacations are about so much more than just getting away.
Helping families slow down, reconnect, and create those special memories together is what makes me love what I do. Knowing that I get to play even a small part in those experiences and memories means more to me than I can put into words. That will always be my favorite part of being a Travel Advisor.
Ryan Speer
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
As a husband and father of three daughters, I have had the ability to plan fun and adventure for our family for years! I LOVE vacation planning – whether it’s been on short notice or a year out, I love researching and taking advantage of deals. Our adventures have taken us to Hawaii three times (Aulani), Royal Caribbean and Disney cruises, along with the magical Disney vacations! There was even one year we went to Disney six times! If you need any help with Disney planning – I would love to advise you!
In addition, we often are planning other relaxing destinations such as the Florida Keys, South Carolina and on the West Coast. Before kids, my wife and I had the opportunity of a lifetime to cruise through Europe on two different cruises – one of the best ways to see Europe! Be sure to ask me about some of my most favorite Europe destinations!
Planning vacations can sometimes be stressful, but I am here to help you cover all the details so you can enjoy the most important part – going on vacation!
Christine Stevens
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I’m a teacher based in Indianapolis, Indiana—Go Hoosiers! I’m passionate about many things: my family, friends, my cat named Fish, and of course, travel. My love for exploring the world started in college and quickly became a lifelong adventure. Since then, I’ve visited 15 countries (and counting!) along with many beautiful spots across the U.S.
Italy has truly captured my heart—I’ve spent the most time there and always find something new to love. For me, travel is all about discovery, connecting with people, and creating lasting memories.
I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible team and can’t wait to help others plan their own unforgettable journeys!
Sarah Tramonto
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
Life is a beautiful adventure and I am so lucky to share this journey with my amazing husband, awesome son, and our three lovable pups.
Our family loves to travel! Since my son was five, we’ve made it a tradition to visit a new baseball stadium every year—we are up to 13 ballparks and counting, and we love exploring the cities just as much as the games! On top of that, our family loves our tropical getaways, long weekends in Boston, and visiting new places when we can. The beach is my happy place!
While planning and researching for our last family vacation, I decided to join the TMC Premier Travel Family. I really enjoy the planning – trips, parties, you name it, I love it. I also love learning about new destinations, so I combined two of my passions and became an advisor!
I look forward to helping you plan your next getaway and helping your family create memories that will last a lifetime!
Gina Wagner
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
I’ve dreamed of being a travel advisor for many years—and long before it became official, I was already the go-to planner for friends and family. Planning trips isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. From coordinating large group trips to Cooperstown, NY for my son’s baseball team to organizing travel to Florida for the Jr. Firefighter Games with our local volunteer fire department, I’ve always enjoyed bringing the details together to create memorable experiences.
Years ago, I even had a notebook labeled Gina “Travel Agent” where I planned countless trips. I’m thrilled to say the quotes are officially gone, and I’m proud to be a part of TMC Premier Travel! After years of being told I needed to become a travel advisor, I finally took the plunge—and I couldn’t be more excited.
I believe travel can be both educational and restorative. One of my most meaningful trips was to Israel, where I had the opportunity to travel with my husband and his family and learn so much along the way. On the other end of the spectrum, Sandals Montego Bay defines relaxation for me—poolside or beachfront with a drink in hand is my idea of perfection. The best trips, in my opinion, blend a little learning with plenty of relaxation.
I can’t wait to help you plan your next Disney vacation, cruise, all-inclusive resort getaway, or any adventure you can imagine!
Amy Zajonczkoski
Travel Advisor, TMC Premier Travel
My name is Amy Zajonczkoski, and I’m a very proud mom to two amazing kids and two sweet fur babies. I’m beyond excited to be part of the TMC Premier Travel family. My love for adventure and exploring new places started when I was a little girl. Every summer my family would choose a new destination, and those trips created such special moments and lasting memories that I still treasure today.
I can honestly say I don’t have just one favorite place to travel. For me, the joy is in the planning, discovering something new in each destination, and most importantly, spending that time with family and friends.
In addition to my passion for travel, I’m honored to be involved with the Rochester Honor Flight program, which is dedicated to celebrating and serving our veterans. That experience has deepened my appreciation for the meaning behind every journey.
I’m here to bring a personal touch to your travel planning — helping you choose the perfect destination, arranging bookings, flights, hotels, and activities, and adding exclusive perks whenever possible. I look forward to being by your side throughout your travels and am so ready to take on this adventure with you. My goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can enjoy every single moment.
What are you waiting for? Let’s get started!
