When  did you start working in the travel industry?

1998 - originally I was a hairdresser but wanted a new  challenge. I loved to travel so decided to go back to college an train as Travel Agent. Towards the end of my course I did work experience at Galaxy Travel. I worked free for Galaxy until a job became available a few months later and then worked my way up to Manager within four years.

I love getting to know my clients to be able to arrange the  perfect holiday for them personally.

Where would you like to visit next?

What  is your dream holiday destination?

New Zealand - I would love to do a month touring around the North and South Islands.

What  were your favourite childhood holidays?
