I live just outside of beautiful St. Augustine, Florida, our nation’s oldest city. I worked as a paraprofessional with the St. Johns County School District for the last ten years. I also own a a small party and wedding rental company which allows me to showcase my creative side. I became interested in becoming a tour director three years ago while accompanying my daughter to New York City on a school trip. After chatting with the tour director, I knew what I wanted my chapter two in life to be. I earned my certification to become a tour director by training with Trip School in 2021, and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
