It’s taken a while, but I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up! With my desire to travel and love for people, being a Tour Director seems like a natural fit for me. And since I’m a late bloomer, I bring years of travel experience and people skills with me. For example, as a cruise staff hostess, not only did I become familiar with our ports of call, I also learned how to deal with the very particular needs of vacationing passengers. More recently as Tournament Director for the Amateur Pickleball Association, I facilitated tournaments all over the country nearly every weekend, which involved handling groups over 100 players. I enjoy people and try to find ways of connecting with them. I’m a problem solver, have stamina and am organized. My daughter is grown and married and I have no pets, so I am flexible and ready to go!
