I have more than 20 years in the travel industry. I started out as a very part-time agent when my children were young and have been in the business in various capacities over the years from franchise sales to running an office in Bellevue to recruiting agents. I’ve had my own agency for the last 6+ years and focus primarily on the luxury market. I help clients with cruises, both River and Ocean cruises as well as land vacations, all-inclusive resorts, custom and escorted tours and custom-curated land trips.

Six years ago, I was selected to start up the ASTA chapter in greater Seattle which encompasses the entire state of Washington & Idaho. I’ve been President of the ASTA Greater Seattle Chapter ever since. This is a passion for me and is a very rewarding and enlightening volunteer role. We are self- funded, have lots of member-facing LIVE and Virtual events and have increased our membership and exposure to ASTA’s initiatives a great deal over the last 6 years, since I have been at the helm. My passion for travel and seeing off-the-beaten-path cultures and exposing others to the wonderful world of travel never ends and I am thrilled to be in this position and to be able to earn a living while doing what I love.
