About Me
Let me share a little about my journey. My love for travel began in 1991 when I took my first leap to Camp America at just 18 years old. Since then, I’ve carved out a diverse career path in both New Zealand and the UK, balancing raising a family with my work in the Travel and Finance Industries. However, my heart always belonged to travel, and I’ve been fully immersed in this world again since 2016. (Quick note: I took a detour into the accounting field from 2020 to 2022—a time that we all know was quite the ride, but thankfully, that’s in the rearview now!)
Since 2022, I’ve been working as a full-time Personal Travel Manager in Cambridge, where I thrive on the flexibility it offers. This role allows me to be my best self, so I can give you the attention and service you deserve.
For those I’ve had the pleasure to meet, you know just how passionate I am about travel and its incredible ability to enrich our lives. I love supporting a wide variety of clients—from corporate and leisure clients to those who just want to have a chat about the possibilities that this World has to offer. I’m not restricted to office hours; I’m more than happy to meet you wherever and whenever works best for you.
I’m dedicated to fully understanding your needs and circumstances, ensuring that together we can craft your trip to be truly unforgettable—a perfect partnership.
Let’s connect and start planning your next adventure!
