With over 40 years experience as a cruise group leader, I have led various size groups on cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Carribbean, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Oberoi, Orion and Celebrity. One of the most exciting trips I have taken  recently was a cruise around Japan on Celebrity, that included a trip to Bangkok, Phuket and Tokyo prior to the cruise, followed by a post-cruise stop in South Korea. I have hosted a small group on a private catamaran for a week around Ionian Sea that had a skipper and private chef. I also have experience leading a cruise on the Nile River for Oberoi.

I have lived and worked in many markets including Seattle, Chicago, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Maryland and Providence, Rhode Island. I have also traveled extensively through North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Having served as host for over 30 cruises, my favorite part of this role is making sure that everyone feels included. Whether it is spending some time listening to music in one of the lounges or hiking with them on an excursion, I want to make sure that each client gets the most from their cruise experience.
