ONGOING TRAVEL EDUCATION
Training That Helps Me Serve You Better
Travel is personal. I continue learning directly from cruise lines and travel partners so I can offer thoughtful guidance, explain meaningful differences, and help match each traveler with the experience that fits them best.
TRAINING & CREDENTIALS
Knowledge you can rely on
Thoughtful travel planning takes more than enthusiasm. Professional coursework and firsthand experience help me ask better questions, explain choices clearly, and help you travel with confidence.
CLIA Certified Cruise Counsellor
I earned the Certified Cruise Counsellor designation through Cruise Lines International Association, combining professional coursework with practical cruise experience.
Cruise-line education
My completed supplier training includes Carnival’s Learn & Earn program and Explora Journeys Foundations, with continued learning across the cruise and resort partners I recommend.
Experience with perspective
Training supports the personal experience my family and I have gained through decades of vacations, cruises, resorts, timeshares, and group travel.
Credentials and supplier training help inform my guidance; your trip is always planned around your own preferences and priorities.
Cruise line training and credentials
These programs build detailed knowledge of ships, accommodations, dining, destinations, and the kinds of travelers each cruise experience serves best.
