I am motivated by a true passion for travel while having a mind for business. Having traveled throughout my entire life for both personal reasons and business ventures, I have been fortunate to have visited six continents, thus gaining real world insight into international business and tourism.

I spent 15 years as part of a team that transformed a small student travel company with eight U.S. branches into a successful and rapidly growing international organization that met its goal of gaining first call position. Recently, I took on a unique, entrepreneurial challenge and founded BrilliantTrips LLC, a company dedicated to providing individuals with an international experience that promotes education through travel. As the company grew, I also assumed the position of Editor of the travel blog, Brilliant Tips from BrilliantTrips.com. In addition to helping inspire travelers to find their next exciting travel destination, my goal in this venture is to help travel businesses embrace online technologies.
