Love of Travel: From a very young age, I looked forward to travel and adventure. I recall traveling via RV with family across the US and into Mexico. Another trip included going to the beach which is where I determined that was where I find peace and a sense of belonging. Memories are still very vivid from those moments and one’s that I will always cherish. Into adulthood, my travels have expanded and continue to grow. I love sharing those and being able to advise others about the places I’ve visited.
Experience: Some of the many things I enjoy doing is planning and scheduling. All of my career positions in human resources has involved planning. This included parties, events and travel both domestically and internationally. In addition, experiencing many of these areas have personally developed a better understanding of the region, culture and the people. This is why I personally love to travel as much as possible and accompany groups.
Education: I have a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management from University of Cincinnati. When deciding to move forward with personal development in the travel industry, I partnered with Cruises Inc. who provides agents with their initial criteria training and then provide ongoing education. I am a CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) member and utilize their training in order to keep up to date with the industry.
Partnerships: I find working with vendors to be the key to a successful vacation for my clients. I only work with vendors who are reputable and provide a high level of service to my clients.
Clients: One of the most satisfying things I experience is the initial excitement of the client when finally booking the cruise or vacation. That excitement helps me to plan and execute excursions and added benefits. My goal is to always ensure I cover areas the client wants me to handle. I also enjoy the follow-up and get a feel for how the trip was and learn from it. Important information includes likes and dislikes about locations, the venue and experiences. This also helps me learn the expectations of the client for future trips.
Pricing: Commission is always paid by the vendor. Client pricing remains the same or better when booking through me due to perks and added amenities. Another benefit is group pricing if available. I can pull from all agents within the company where other forms of booking may be limited. On rare occasions when only booking airfare or doing outside the normal there will be a nominal fee. Most often that fee would be for service in the amount of $24.99. Other times, I will waive the fee.
Trusted Advisor: I work for you! My family relies on your support to provide necessities. I keep your interests as my goal and not the vendor. Cruises Inc. is part of World Travel Holdings and carries full insurance. Cruises Inc. is well respected and has thousands of representatives.
Promise: My promise to you is that I will always have your best interest in front!
