About Me

Serving small to mid-sized business accounts with comprehensive travel management for airfare, hotel accommodations, rental cars, and international travel throughout the U.S., Canada, and global destinations. I work directly with travelers, executive assistants, and travel planners to secure the most efficient routing, convenient hotel locations, and cost-effective options while maintaining full compliance with corporate travel policies and company preferences. Whether your team is traveling for a conference, meeting, training session, or incentive program, I can help coordinate the details and keep the process organized from start to finish.

My experience includes arranging travel for professionals across a variety of industries, including technology, medical devices, financial services, and government associations. I also bring firsthand international business travel experience, including travel to Austria with site visits in Vienna and Linz, which gives me a practical understanding of the planning, timing, and logistics involved in overseas business trips. That experience helps me better support clients traveling internationally and anticipate the details that matter most.

When your team is ready to travel, I would be happy to assist with your arrangements and show you how our team can provide dependable, personalized corporate travel management.
