Travel Director/Manager/Guide – facilitating group travel both domestic and internationally. Focusing on seamless logistics and safety for guests. I am ITMI & TripSchool certified.

A committed life-long learner who is passionate about sharing knowledge gained through a career of senior level management experience, and extensive travel.
