What Inspired Your Journey Into Travel?

I wanted more growth opportunities. A friend suggested I become a travel advisor because it had been a passion of mine for many years.

I grew up looking at a map on the wall, dreaming of exploring it all — especially the places no one I knew had ever been. In college, I realized I could make those dreams a reality through creativity and resourcefulness. I applied for scholarships, led fundraisers, and petitioned the honors college — eventually sending myself and other students to Asia for free. It was the start of a lifelong love for seeing the world.

    “Travel has always been my way of connecting curiosity with purpose — a reminder that the world rewards those who seek to understand it.”
  

Finding Her Path

I felt confident in the destinations but needed to learn how to become a salesperson. My sales manager and host agency were a huge part of my success — guiding me with patience, tools, and insight.

Proudest Moment

While booking big-budget trips is rewarding, the ones that mean everything to my clients are my favorite. My proudest was sending a couple on their long-awaited honeymoon — 20 years later. It was their first time leaving the country, and I helped make it unforgettable. Knowing I could give them that joy was humbling and deeply fulfilling.

    “Seeing a traveler experience their dream for the first time — that’s why I do what I do.”
  

The Power of Support

There are so many vendors and booking systems to learn in this industry. Having a team I trust has saved me countless hours and stress. My sales managers and peers are a lifeline — their advice and encouragement are invaluable.

Life Today

I now enjoy more flexibility in my daily life than most desk jobs allow. I work with clients who bring me joy and share my passion for meaningful travel. This freedom lets me live with balance and purpose — both professionally and personally.

Advice for New Advisors

It’s a slow start — be ready to support yourself while building your business. Stay organized, ask questions, and lean into the learning process. Success builds one relationship at a time.
