As the Owner of Elevate Travel Group, my purpose transcends mere business transactions. I am bestowed with the blessing and priviledge to facilitate journeys that enrich lives and create memorable experiences. My role extends beyond arranging itineraries; I become a conduit for discovery, connection, and cultural exchange. With each trip meticulously planned, I have the opportunity to inspire wanderlust, foster meaningful relationships, and cultivate appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the world. In serving others through travel, I embrace the privilege of spreading joy and wonder across continents.  

​

My passion for travel was ignited in Junior High School when I participated in a travel and tourism class that forever changed the way I viewed the world. That spark has guided my journey for over 30 years, shaping both my professional path and my life’s calling.

​

I stepped into the corporate world, embracing a wide variety of roles that built my administrative, technical, and leadership expertise. ​I’ve had the honor of serving in a wide range of roles that have shaped my professional journey and deepened my passion for people and purpose. From communications in media companies, to supporting financial clients as a loan servicing officer, to managing research grant submissions, compliance, special projects, administrative support and Corporate Travel in a Children’s Hospital. Eventually, my passion for creating meaningful experiences led me to the travel industry

 

After years of serving clients through a Global Travel Agency, I felt a deeper calling...to serve with more heart, purpose, and personalization. Taking a step of faith, I launched Elevate Travel Group, where I craft luxury travel experiences that celebrate culture and connection. Today, I also serve as a coach through the ETG Travel Academy, empowering aspiring travel professionals with mentorship, certification guidance, and business-building support.

​

Along this journey, I’ve also earned industry credentials that reflect my commitment to professionalism and excellence:
