I joined Travel & Cruise Desk as a travel advisor in 2011 and was lucky enough to be trained by some of the most experienced and highly respected advisors in the industry. In 2019, I had the opportunity to purchase the agency and while my role has changed in recent years, I'm dedicated to continuing our agency's legacy of excellence. As the owner, I take great pride in the expert travel advisors on my team, knowing that their services enhance the experiences of our clients.
Originally from Scotland, I've been fortunate enough to explore many parts of the world, including Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific Islands. I'm committed to ensuring a good work/life balance for my team while managing the day-to-day operations of the agency. I truly believe that traveling well can not only help individuals live their best lives but when done right, can also be a force for good in the world.
