Family and friends have taken me across the US and beyond, but a trip to the Grand Canyon when I was in high school stands out. Picture: a teenage girl with no phone service, her younger brother’s charming yet endless cascade of comments, and Grandma in the passenger’s seat with Dad driving us around the national parks. Meanwhile, Dad’s hearing is bad on his right and Grandma’s on her left. Everyone travels differently…I can look back now and laugh.

In college I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Milan, Italy and I visited beautiful places like Nice, Budapest, and Copenhagen when I wasn’t getting to know my host city. Skip to present day—when I’m not booking travel I’m running my Online Business Management business…say that five times fast!

Travel booking & operations management are my areas of expertise, and I provide the latter with two goals in mind: targeted growth & efficiency. That can look like daily task support or developing, managing, and evaluating projects. Sometimes I even make a meme or two—my job is all encompassing. And I love it.
