After graduating from college, my husband and I moved to Italy for 17 years. People always ask, "what were you doing in Italy for 17 years?" Well, during this time, my husband, Mike, was playing professional basketball. We lived in Milan for six years, Pesaro for seven years, Bologna for three years and our last year was spent in Marsala, Sicily. I was able to travel extensively throughout Italy as well as visiting many other European cities. Upon our return to the US in 1991, I decided to enroll in travel school and begin a career in the travel industry. I have obtained recognition as a Destination Specialist for Italy. We have returned to Italy 4 times; the latest was in 2019 with 14 family members to see the area where my husband's relatives are from - Puglia.

In addition to my passion for travel and especially travel in Italy, I love to play golf. I was lucky to visit St. Andrews and Sawgrass this year!

In 2016, we moved to Columbus, Ohio so I am now working remotely from my home. Most of my work is done via the phone and email. I can sometimes be available to meet in Cincinnati, but not on a regular basis.
