I am an experienced travel operations and sales professional with a strong track record in FIT/GIT bookings, cruise reservations, vendor negotiations, visa assistance, forex management, and driving sales growth. I have led teams, coached sales staff, and implemented strategies that improved revenue and client satisfaction across holidays and cruise operations.

I excel at supplier relationship management, training and process improvement, market research, and operational coordination for international travel. I am customer-focused, results-driven, and committed to delivering seamless travel experiences while mentoring teams to meet and exceed targets.
