I have been working in the tourism & hospitality industry for 20 years; with varied experience beginning in bars & restaurants, to working as a housekeeper and at the front desk of a hotel, at a tourist attraction, a convention center, and for 6 years in leisure & corporate travel sales as a licensed travel agent. I finally landed in Group Tour Operation about 5 years ago – which is more of a ‘behind the scenes’ role – planning itineraries, negotiating with travel suppliers, managing group contracts with hotels, cruise lines, coach companies, etc. to create travel products which are then sold to consumers by travel agents. For the past 8 years, I have also been a tourism educator at the College level.
I appreciate suppliers (DMCs) that work closely to develop tourism sustainably alongside the local community, and my favorite travel experiences are the ones in which I've been immersed in a foreign culture, tried new foods, or done something crazy like bungy-jumping or cage diving with sharks! In my personal experience, I have traveled to over 20 countries and completed a MA in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a focus on regenerative tourism. I am married & a mom to 2 girls, with whom I cannot wait to share my joy of travel.
