For as long as I can remember, I have been deeply passionate about travel. As a young girl, I would often visit travel agencies, collect brochures, and dream of exploring incredible destinations around the world.
While pursuing a career in finance, I also completed my Certificate II in Tourism, aspiring to transition into the travel industry. Although this career change did not happen at the time, my love for travel never waned. Instead, I used the opportunity to explore the world and expand my knowledge. I travelled extensively, visiting New Zealand, Europe, the United States, the Maldives, the Cook Islands, and Singapore.
Later in life, I was fortunate to secure a position with a travel agency, a moment that felt like coming home. I embraced the industry wholeheartedly, further broadening my horizons with trips to China, Thailand, New Zealand, East and West Coast Canada, London and the UK, Cambodia, Vietnam, Croatia and throughout Australia. These experiences included travelling with esteemed companies such as Scenic, Back-Roads Touring, and Insider Journeys.
Having previously worked in the travel industry, I knew that when I returned, I wanted to provide a more personalised and tailored service. This desire led me to join MTA Travel, where I can work closely with my clients to create truly memorable travel experiences.
As your personal travel advisor, I am committed to delivering exceptional service, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully managed to create the perfect holiday for you. Your journey begins with me, and I am dedicated to making the planning process as seamless and enjoyable as your travels.
