Matthews

My journey in the travel industry began with the founding of KM Travel Design, a boutique travel agency known for its personalized service and high-end travel experiences. After completing the TravelMBA program with Gifted Travel Network (GTN), I not only launched my business but eventually started mentoring in the program as well.

Several years later, I accepted a full-time leadership role at GTN as Vice President of Professional Development. This position allows me to merge my passion for travel with my extensive background in educational counseling—I hold an M.Ed. and have over a decade of experience in the field. In this role, I oversee the Travel Business University programs, which include comprehensive training and professional development initiatives, from our new-to-industry TravelMBA program to our elite Top Producers Club.

Together with my team, we consistently develop innovative content and experiences through our educational programs and live events, ensuring our advisors excel as travel professionals and business owners.
