I have always had a passion for travel. Growing up I was fortunate to travel to Italy a few times as my parents are from the Northern Italy region of Friuli which is north of Venice. I was able to spend a summer with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins when I was in high school. I still have family in Italy and try to visit as often as I can. My father’s home growing up is our family home in Italy.

Once I graduated from High School I enrolled with Braniff Education Systems and did a study course from home and then moved to Dallas for their residency program. I returned from Dallas and started selling vacation travel with some corporate travel in 1980. I changed positions in 1983 and worked at a meeting/incentive company for two years. I stayed home for a year after the birth of my first child and when I returned to travel I was a full time corporate agent. In 1992 I helped start a new travel agency and sold leisure, corporate and group air and helped with group land extensions pre and post travel. I also handled the Airline Reporting Corporation Reports and managed the office.

In 2012 I left the industry to pursue another career and found it was not what I was looking for. I was fortunate that a co-worker now my manger pursued me during that time to come back to travel. I am back home and loving it!

I am solely selling vacation travel and specialize in Italy. I enjoy selling Europe as well as the South Pacific and Caribbean. I enjoy selling all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean as well. I love Walt Disney world. and look forward to my first trip to Disneyland this December 2013. Disneyland was Perfect! I love the original park and the size.

Puerto Vallarta April 2015. My first trip to this town which I fell in love with. It offers the Ocean and the Sierra Madres.. I think you get the best of both worlds and it truly felt authentic. June 2016 - Rome - Vatican Museum and St Peters - Florence (My Personal Favorite Italian City) - Duomo and Day trip to Cinque Terre - Udine and Palmanova (walled city in the shape of a 9 pointed star). April 2017 Cabo San Lucas. I was able to see the town of San Jose Del Cabo as well as the Corridor and Cabo. June 2017 - La Jolla, Coroando Island and Mission Beach. Some great breweries if you enjoy beer. AMA Rhine River Cruise November 2017. Amsterdam - Anne Frank House and Stedelijk Museum are a must see for history. The towns on the Rhine were captivating - Cologne (Germany), Rudesheim (Germany) , Strasbourg (France) and Breisach (Germany) and ended in Basel Switzerland. My first experience on a River Cruise and highly recommend this.

Italy September 2019 -Cortina D Ampezzo and Tre Cime Di Lavoredo in the Italian Dolomites. Beautiful anytime of year.

Sedona/Paige Springs and Jerome Arizona December 2018.
