Three years ago this month I changed my life

 
 

I’d been a travel advisor for exactly one year and then the pandemic hit. I could’ve quit, I could’ve kept consulting at my old job, but instead I got comfortable with the fact that when it comes to careers, everything happens for a reason.

As terrible as the early days of the pandemic were, it was one of the few times in my life that I had the chance to be still and reflect on what I wanted my life to look like in my new career. And I knew above all else, that I wanted to be a member of @thesmartflyer community.

It was one of the first accounts that I ever followed from my @perspectivestravel account and I frequently IG stalked @erinapindar and @mikeyholtz to see what destinations they were exploring.

So, I took a leap of faith, reached out, interviewed and officially became a Smartie on July 14, 2020! And when I tell you my life (and business) changed, that is not an exaggeration.

Between my colleagues, the relationships that @thesmartflyer has built over the past 30+ years, and the confidence that I gained knowing that I’m providing the absolute best experiences for my clients, it’s clear that I made the right choice.

My maternity leave message will officially come down on August 1st, so if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work with a luxury travel advisor who has the best in the business behind her, this is your opportunity to find out! I’ll be taking on limited new clients as I ease back into working mom life 😊, so reach out now so I can add you to my interest list.
