When I was in high school, I took a class on Tourism. Right away I was hooked, and it became my favourite class! After graduating high school I took a year off to work, and then started Tourism College in 1998. I continued to work while going to school, and once I graduated, got my first job right away with my first wholesale company, Pacific Sunspot Tours, in Vancouver, and have never looked back since! Wholesale is what I thrive on, it’s my passion. I love the relationships that we develop with our travel agent community, and I love assisting them in creating that dream vacation for their clients.

Favourite Travel Memory
My most memorable travel experience is holding a koala at the Australia Zoo. This is something that I've always wanted to do. I was surprised at how heavy they were and how coarse their fur was. I was so emotional that this was finally happening I cried while getting my picture taken!
