About

I am a dynamic and people-focused professional with a background in healthcare, education, and business ownership. I am now seeking to bring organizational expertise, public speaking skills/storytelling, and a passion for travel to the role of Tour Director. Experienced in guiding diverse groups, creating engaging presentations, managing logistics, and ensuring exceptional guest experiences. Recognized for calm problem-solving, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to inspire trust and confidence in groups of all sizes. Per Alan Armijo I am fun, quirky and compassionate. Can book with 1 week notice if not already committed.
