For over 25 years, I’ve built a career focused on creating meaningful and memorable experiences. From working as a Marketing and Public Relations Manager in the hospitality and entertainment industries, to city government, where I learned the importance of fostering strong connections with communities, to my background in Customer Success and Training for a national brand, I've spent decades refining my skills in delivering top-notch service and ensuring every detail exceeded expectations. But through all of these roles, my true passion—travel—was always at the forefront, inspiring my journey to become a travel advisor and founder of Epic Horizons Travel.
As someone who has always been drawn to exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures, I realized that my love for travel could be more than just a personal pursuit. The thrill of discovering a new destination, connecting with locals, and trying new foods has always excited me. Over time, it became clear that I wanted to help others experience that same joy and excitement in their own travels.
With my extensive background in hospitality, I understand the importance of creating seamless, personalized experiences. In the entertainment industry, I learned how to craft unforgettable moments, whether it was organizing major events or ensuring every detail of a customer's experience was perfect. As a travel advisor, I bring that same attention to detail and commitment to excellence into crafting dream vacations for my clients.
My experience in customer success taught me that no two customers are the same. People have different needs, expectations, and desires when it comes to travel. My goal is to listen to each client, understand their vision, and transform that into a well-planned, stress-free travel experience. Whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, a romantic getaway, or an adventure to a familiar place, my job is to make sure my clients focus on making memories while I handle the logistics.
Through Epic Horizons Travel, I get to combine my professional expertise with my passion for exploring the world. I’m here not just as an advisor but as someone who deeply understands the transformative power of travel. I believe that travel broadens perspectives, opens minds, and enriches lives.
Becoming a travel advisor wasn’t just a career shift; it was a natural evolution of my passion for travel and my professional commitment to delivering outstanding service where I’m thrilled to share my love for travel with others and to help each of my clients embark on their own epic journeys.
