My career in the Travel & Tourism Industry began in 1981 when I completed my classes and internship with the Professional Travel Consultant Academy in Chicago. During my tenure in the industry, I was employed by two powerhouse Fortune 100 companies; American Express and United Airlines, where I designed global travel itineraries, and assisted the most discriminating travelers. Shortly after 9/11, I enrolled in graduate school where I earned multiple graduate degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education Administration. After 15 years in teaching, I find myself coming back to the Travel & Tourism Industry because we all know, Travel is infectious, and once you experience that very first adventure, it never goes away, it only intensifies. “Experience the World”
