WESLEY CHAPEL, FL, December 02, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jamie Santillo has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Hailing from more than 25 years of multidisciplinary experience, Ms. Santillo has led a distinguished career marked by entrepreneurial leadership, industry recognition and a commitment to inclusivity within the travel and marketing sectors. Since 2019, she has served as the founder and owner of Adventures by Jamie in Wesley Chapel, Florida, where she, and her team of travel advisors, create personalized travel experiences by identifying destinations, activities and accommodations with full accessibility for individuals and families with disabilities.

Under Ms. Santillo's direction, Adventures by Jamie has achieved widespread acclaim, including being named Best Travel Agency in Florida for three consecutive years. Standing as her most significant professional achievement, this recognition is particularly meaningful given the challenges she has faced due to her disability. Throughout her entire career, she has been driven to demonstrate her capabilities as a full time power wheelchair user due to congenital muscular dystrophy, and to challenge misconceptions, earning respect and visibility in the travel sector and beyond.

In addition to her work with Adventures by Jamie, Ms. Santillo is the founder and owner of JS Creative Concepts & Marketing LLC, a role she has held since 2016. Through this venture, she provides creative marketing solutions, event planning and media relations strategies for small and independent businesses as well nonprofit organizations, further establishing her reputation for innovation and client-focused service.

From 2001 to 2004, Ms. Santillo excelled as a desktop publisher at AchieveGlobal (now Miller Heiman Group), where she was responsible for producing high-quality publications and supporting the company's training and development initiatives of fortune 500 companies. Her career began with an internship at Clear Channel Communications from 1997 to 1998, where she gained foundational experience in media, communications and advertising services.

From 2004 to 2016, Ms. Santillo thrived as the public relations specialist for Shriners Hospitals for Children - Tampa, supporting the organization's pediatric care, research and teaching programs through her specialties in strategic communication, outreach, event planning, media relations and fundraising.

Committed to continuous leadership development and expanding her network, Ms. Santillo is a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors and the Cruise Lines International Association — both of which support best practices and professional growth within the travel sector.

Ms. Santillo's educational background has played an equally vital role in her success. She earned a Master of Arts in management from Bellevue University in 2005, equipping her with advanced leadership and organizational skills. Five years earlier, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in mass communication from the University of South Florida, which provided her with a strong foundation in media, public relations and marketing. To augment her qualifications at Adventures by Jamie, she was certified as a travel industry coach in 2021 and a travel professional in 2020, both by Wanderlust Campus.

Reflecting on her storied journey thus far, Ms. Santillo credits the love and support of her family as well as the mentorship of Cyndi Williams — owner of Wanderlust Campus — where Ms. Santillo has been a development coach since 2022, and lead development coach since 2023, as influences in her pivot to the entrepreneurial realm. She also acknowledges the contributions of her team, whose talent and dedication have challenged her to grow as a leader and achieve new heights in her career.

In addition to her professional and civic roles, Ms. Santillo contributed as an expert freelance writer and editor for LivePerson from 2006 to 2011, leveraging her experience to provide editorial knowledge and insights across a wide range of topics.

In her personal life, Ms. Santillo is engaged to be married to her fiancé, Kevin, and values time traveling, enjoying movies and being with family and friends, as well as a self-proclaimed Disney adult. Determined to further her impact in the future, she intends to trademark Adventures by Jamie and continue collaborating with tourism boards, marketing organizations and industry partners to promote more inclusive communities and accessible destinations for individuals and families around the world.
