My career in travel officially spans 25 years, but I have always loved to travel and plan trips for my family. I graduated in 1984 from SIU-Edwardsville with a B.S. in Accountancy. I love numbers, but that wasn't enough to keep my interest on a daily basis. In 1993, I completed the Carlson Travel Academy course in travel and tourism. As a travel consultant, I have traveled extensively in the United States, most of the Caribbean Islands and Mexico. I love all-inclusive vacations where you can do nothing or everything -it is my way of relaxing. Cruises have also been a favorite of mine - any ship, any time. Italy and Ireland have been two of my most favorite European trips, the cultures and history are amazing.

I came to Altair Travel 3 ½ years ago, in the accounting department. It is the perfect niche for me! I am still in the travel industry, and I still get to love my numbers!
