Throughout my journey, I've worn many hats. international business professional, global history teacher, and most importantly wife and mom. My life has been driven by a passion for learning, and experiencing and sharing the human and physical wonders of the world.
I've recently retired from teaching and rekindled my adventure as Travel Advisor with Card's Cruise Connection, an award winning agency with over 30 years experience, knowledge, and strategic travel industry connections.
Whether I'm at home, work, or play, I am passionate about my people and projects. I take pride in researching, planning, and achieving the best experience and outcomes.
I hope you will trust me with your next adventure !!!
