I’m AJa — pronounced “Asia,” but spelled A-J-A. And yes, I know what you’re thinking: “Asia?” Nope… AJa! I may not be a continent, but I definitely know my way around a reservation!

I’m proud to be part of the team at Elite Travel Inc. in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. My role is a little different from that of a traditional travel advisor. I’m often the person behind the scenes making sure all the details and moving parts of a reservation come together.

I’m probably best known around the office as the “go-to person” when someone needs to know how something works, where to find a detail, or how to navigate the many moving parts of our reservation systems. I have a knack for understanding the details and helping our team work through the technology and systems that keep our guests’ travel plans organized and on track.

I also enjoy getting to know the destinations and resorts we recommend to our guests. Two of my favorite Caribbean resorts are Secrets Tides Punta Cana and Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau. I enjoy sharing what I know and helping our guests find the destination and experience that are right for them.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids and being surrounded by our furry family members. Music is another big part of my life. I play multiple instruments and have a special love for the guitar. Whether I’m solving a technology challenge, figuring out a complicated reservation, coordinating a group, or helping our team keep all the details on track, I’m happy to be the person everyone can count on.
