About

Traveling Customer Service Manager, i.e., Certified International Tour Director by Trip School.

Boomer babe, professional wanderer, unabashed cocker spaniel lover, early bird, home baker, and good person/great friend…

You want someone who can deliver memorable, write-home-about travel experiences.  I can do this.

Here’s why…

During the past year as a Tour Director, I have led multiple tours to the 4 Islands of Hawaii, and to Australia and Fiji.  In the coming months, you’ll find me back in Hawaii, and touring New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest. 

When I think about the hundreds of travel memories of my adult life – from Alaska to Africa, the many adventures I’ve led for a local group of badass women for years, and even the tours I’ve given at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo, I realize the obvious.

I’ve been a director of events and tours for a very long time, creating and producing successful large scale consumer shows and officiating more than 3,000 wedding ceremonies. 

I’m more than ready to scale-up, branch out and get packing for new adventures. 

You can trust me with your guests because I am…

– Part storyteller, part performer

– Business-smart and tech savvy

– High energy with high standards

– Comfortable speaking to any size group

– Customer service driven, like obsessed

– Able to manage time and boundaries

– In control, not heavy handed, liability radar

– Compassionate and never indifferent

Decades of personal travel, a career in event management, and guiding diverse couples with high expectations down the aisle on their wedding day, have taught me that ingenuity, creative maneuvers, conscious communication, and a well-seasoned sense of humor and flexibility dissolves most problems. 

My business background as an entrepreneur and my people smarts go a long way in creating solutions, doing a pivot.   Simply, taking responsibility for and delivering better-than-imagined adventures is my baseline – BAM!

So, let’s talk, let’s go.  Very open to last minute opportunities!
