Hi Party People I'm Katie. I'm an award winning travel agent that helps real people plan unreal vacations. Believe it or not, doing this full time was never my goal. I joined the travel industry to raise money for our families adoption, and quickly, my love of travel, dedication and experience grew my business. I had a choice to make- stay at my current job, or make the leap and see where this travel thing would take me. I took the leap- and I'm so grateful I did. In the past five years I have booked over 6 million dollars in travel, planned trips to over 20 countries, helped 10 couples plan a destination wedding, won top sales awards, been recognized as one of Travel Age West " 5 Leaders to Watch" and most recently, have the greatest job of leading and training a team of travel agents as they seek to build their own book of business. This job has taken from the beaches of the Caribbean to the skies of Turkey in a hot air balloon and I have gotten to meet and learn from some of the most amazing individuals the industry has to offer. I get to spend every day doing what I love- helping other people make amazing travel memories. It truly is the job I always dreamed of, and I couldn't be more grateful for every person that trusts me with their travel plans.
