LEISURE TRAVEL ADVISOR

I graduated from Airline/Travel Career School in September 1982. From there I worked as a travel agent, tour guide and escorted large groups. I’ve worked with the airlines as a reservationist, ramp agent, travel coordinator, employee store personnel, and a few other organizations within the airline. For 10 years I was a TSA Transportation Security Officer, offering me extra insight into travel requirements. My biggest achievement was working with SATO Travel and winning the President’s Award for 3 months in a row. I worked with SATO at 2 different military bases processing both official and leisure travel. My husband at the time was an active-duty service member who served in The Gulf War – Desert Storm.

I have coordinated travel arrangements and events for family, (in which I plan and coordinate every year for our family reunion), friends, military, and the Girl Scouts.

I enjoy being a tourist myself as it helps me learn more about different people and their cultures. I love the diversity that our wonderful world has given us!

Making travel arrangements for people can be very exciting because it gives me a feeling like I am taking the journey with them.  

I have one daughter and one grandson (who is a Boy Scout), so we are a very active traveling family!
