Elizabeth Melancon
Elizabeth fell in love with travel at a young age when she traveled to France and Spain in high school. While living abroad in Italy, she realized that travel provides you with exposure to other cultures that must be experienced first-hand. As a wife and mother of three elementary-aged children, she hopes to create lasting memories with them while showing them the world! Her favorite destination has been Iceland in December! Seeing the Northern Lights was a bucket list experience! Her dream vacation is to take her family on safari in Africa.

Morgan Mayhew
Travel Concierge Liaison & Associate Travel Advisor
As Travel Concierge Liaison for MaryDee Travel, Morgan is passionate about supporting each client's journey with warmth, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for exceptional travel.
While she enjoys helping clients experience the luxury and boutique travel MaryDee Travel is known for, her specialty is planning unforgettable Disney vacations. As a graduate of Disney’s College of Knowledge, Morgan loves helping families, couples, and multi-generational travelers experience the magic with confidence. From choosing the perfect Disney resort to creating customized park itineraries and sharing insider tips, she takes the stress out of planning so her clients can focus on making lifelong memories.
When she’s not planning Disney adventures, some of Morgan’s favorite destinations include the Carolina Mountains and the South Carolina Lowcountry, especially the timeless beauty of Montage Palmetto Bluff.
Katelyn Fontana
Operations Director
Born and raised in South Louisiana, I’m a 33‑year‑old LSU grad now happily settled in Covington—my own little version of Mayberry—with my husband of nearly seven years and our golden retriever, Krewe. As a first‑time mom, I’m learning daily how to build a life rooted in purpose, resilience, and curiosity.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me exploring something new—whether it’s a local restaurant, a far‑flung destination, a tennis court, or just a long overdue catch‑up with friends. The people who know me best describe me as thoughtful, dependable, and someone who brings warmth and determination into every space I enter.
My journey is still unfolding, guided by family, faith, fulfillment, and the desire to make a meaningful impact.
Alice Collins
Associate Travel Advisor
Travel has been part of Alice's story since childhood. Her father's international career took the family everywhere and as a result, she has logged significant domestic and international miles from a very early age. She's visited 31 states, at least 20 countries, and 5 of the 7 continents, with no plans of slowing down. Alice brings a dynamic career to the Mary Dee Travel team. She spent almost ten years as a labor and delivery nurse before transitioning into accounting and bookkeeping across marketing, real estate, and design firms. Along the way, she built a reputation for being smart, creative, thoughtful, and organized, with a sharp eye for accuracy and a knack for proactive planning. Her enthusiasm for joining Mary Dee Travel is rooted in something deeply personal: her belief that experiencing new places and cultures is one of the best investments she and her husband can make, especially for their twin boys.
