Travel Experience

Travel has always been my passion. Prior to my new-found Travel Edge life, I'd been busy traveling the world as a Travel Director for several international meeting planning companies – which only furthered my craving for experiencing the world!

I began my career in the travel industry 18 years ago as Marketing Manager for the Florida Sales office for Travel + Leisure, Food & Wine and Departures Magazine.

There's no greater joy than being able to share my personal knowledge, experiences, and deep love of travel with my clients so they too can further uncover their own passion for seeing this big, breathtaking world!
