With a successful career spanning 20 years in the travel industry, my philosophy is simple; build strong relationships based on honesty, authenticity and enthusiasm to achieve a seamless process and the best outcome.

My years growing up were spend living in many locations in New Zealand as my father was in the Army. My teenage years were spent living in Singapore and travelling extensively through South East Asia. This saw me catch the travel bug that would later see me embark on a career in the travel industry.

I spent the majority of my working life in client centric environments starting in the hospitality industry on leaving school. When I moved to Timaru I undertook a role which involved function and event management and allowed me to grow a solid skill base in organisation, attention to detail and working under tight deadlines.

An opportunity arose for me to enter the travel industry and I did this in 2005, I have a successful career of over 15 years achieving many personal goals and escorting 100’s of clients all over the world. One of the most rewarding and challenging aspects to my role was organising corporate incentive groups to many events and destinations.

I have 3 grown children and one adored grandchild and as a family we are huge motorsport fans with my son running his own vehicle as part of the 24 red race team.

I love renovating homes, entertaining and like many of us spending time with family and friends. Travel is of course still a passion of mine and whilst I have been to over 50 countries I still have many on my wishlist.
