After a successful career in administration, in 2009 I decided to take the leap and make my passion my profession: I became a travel advisor. While I love and sell all types of cruises, river cruising is my specialty. I can’t think of a better way to discover a destination than by stepping off your intimate ship right into the heart of a city. River cruises are a wonderful way to soak up the atmosphere of a destination and learn a little about the history and culture – it’s endlessly fascinating! So far I’ve cruised with Scenic, Emerald, Ama and Avalon and plan to experience more lines in order that I can bring you the most up to date experience and information. This is backed by training programs I’ve completed with Oceania, Avalon, Ama Waterways, Paul Gauguin, Celebrity, Monograms, and Globus. What can I bring to your cruise experience? I’m caring, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and I want every cruise I sell to turn out exactly as you want. “I’ve got your back”…even when you are sitting on that deck chair cruising past medieval vineyards and villages!
