I started my travel career serendipitously, in 2002, when a friend dared me to apply for a job as Executive Assistant to the CEO of Tzell Travel. After 14 years there, I joined F1S as Director of Client Relations and transitioned to my current role as Director of F1S New York Region in January of 2023.

When it comes to favorite travel experience, one that sticks out is my first visit to Argentina and Uruguay. I was serenaded by a professional opera singer, saw an incredible performance in tango’s birthplace, and soaked up the sun along the Rio de la Plata…it was love at first trip to South America for me from that moment forward.

Things to know about me:

• I can't travel without an eye mask for sleeping
• Next up on my must-visit list: South Africa
• Favorite travel activity: Dining on the local cuisine and trying new foods from the region
• Bucket list: Visit every continent
