A little about me: I have been in the hospitality industry for 18 years with experience in both hotel sales as well as event planning. In 2013 I earned the Certified Meeting Professional designation from the Events Industry Council (formerly Convention Industry Council). Along with selling travel, I also teach hospitality courses to the future leaders in the industry. I personally believe in the importance of experiences over material possessions. The memories you create while traveling will remain with you forever. It is the one thing you buy that makes your richer!
