Italy Specialist
I began my journey in the travel business quite by accident, while working for a large corporation in Nashua NH. I was involved with Employee services and in doing so became involved with employees leisure time travel. Planning Bus trips and group trips to some destination such as Hawaii, and Alaska. My passion for the business grew, and soon I was leaving my corporate job for a career in the travel industry. At that time, there were still schools to attend and become more comfortable with understanding what went into knowing about travel. Not that you just like to travel.
After volunteering my time in an agency to learn the business hands on, I was ready to start working at it, to make $$. I started by going into small companies and asking them to post weekly specials in the cafeterias and leaving brochures in their break rooms for employees to call me to help them plan their get away vacations. Soon, I was getting calls, and selling travel. Attending seminars and becoming more familiar with the business was key - Thank goodness for those amazing tour operators in our business who are dedicated to educating us to sell their products more efficiently and making sure we have experts of our own to reach out to.
My 25 years in this business have been very rewarding and my sincere passion for the Travel industry grows each year, knowing full well that the ever changing resorts, needs of passengers, and choices grow as well. Education is key in this business, and I continue to learn more each day. Extensive knowledge of travel to Italy has become my quest to be better each year. Seminars, webinars and educational classes is my way of keeping up on the latest this world has to offer.
