My career has taken winding roads mainly in tourism and environmental conservation. Despite my fulfilling career in non-profits and local government, a part of me longed to return to the excitement of travel and tourism, which was highlighted during the pandemic. This could be seen as an extremely odd time to return to the tourism industry, but it has turned into my greatest adventure yet. I founded Fulfilled Passport Travel to help people with their travel plans and dreams. When I moved to New Zealand in 2012, many people asked me how I did it. I shared the resources about visas, but what others may have really needed was someone to coach them through those scary steps to take their own leap. I am now a Certified Travel Coach so I can help others fulfill their own travel dreams. While joining a group trip in Costa Rica, I was introduced to the role of a Tour Director for the first time. I decided to pursue training and work in the role of a Tour Director. I am thrilled to be following my heart and pursuing my dream of creating memorable travel adventures for others on their own personal trips or on group trips.
