Talk To The Experts

United States of America

There have been many favourite moments having worked for Elegant Resorts for a number of years. I have been lucky enough to fly on Concorde which was a childhood ambition of mine and my absolute favourite experience has to be a trip aboard the Venice-Simplon Orient Express.

I joined Elegant Resorts in 1997 and would describe this as my dream job! Having worked in a number of sales departments over the years I have been lucky enough to visit some fabulous destinations across the globe and work alongside some wonderful people.

I have always had a love and passion for travel be it a safari in South Africa, diving in the Maldives or viewing the Taj Mahal as the sun sets.

Working at Elegant Resorts has enabled me to experience so many memorable journeys whilst meeting some fantastic people along the way.

Since 2006 I have worked as a Caribbean specialist in the luxury travel industry and have been in my current position with Elegant Resorts since 2009, where I also cover North America. During this time I have been fortunate enough to travel many times to the Caribbean and have had the pleasure of experiencing many of the hotels within our portfolio.

Before Elegant Resorts, I was lucky enough to work and live in St Barths for 4 years. I have travelled to most places in the Caribbean and I thoroughly enjoy snorkelling, diving, hiking and sailing.

I feel extremely privileged to work for Elegant Resorts and have enjoyed a number of magical experiences along the way.

Since I can remember I have always had a passion for travel, I think it was my first family holiday to Mallorca in the 70s that started it all. I have strong memories of lovely holidays with my parents and this is something I strive to emulate for my two children, Sophie 11 and Liam 7 years old.

Whether it is an idyllic honeymoon, or an extensive family adventure, I enjoy sharing my expert knowledge and securing the very best available for our clients.

Starting my travel career back in 2000, I can honestly say I have never even considered anything else at all. My career has taken me from Luxury Travel to Cabin Crew and now my feet are firmly back on the ground right where they belong in Luxury Travel once more. I have been so very lucky to have been able to travel and experience many of our destinations and hotels and love sharing my experience

I knew from my first holiday I wanted to work within travel. Back in 2006 whilst studying at university I started my career as airline ground staff, then joined as cabin crew before I found my passion as a travel consultant. I have been extremely fortunate to gain a wealth of knowledge and experience in different destinations, which I am always delighted to share.

Having travelled around after finishing University I wanted to come back and start my career in travel, specifically luxury travel. After being in this industry for a few years I can certainly say this is my dream job! I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing destinations and partake in some incredible adventures.

I think anyone who works in the travel industry must have a passion for travelling and it's definitely one of mine!

I love travelling the globe, particularly by cruise – I've been on many different ships and sailed the waters of the Western Mediterranean and the Caribbean. I love enjoying breakfast on the balcony as you sail into port, and with so many shore excursions to choose from, they really have something for everyone!

My passion has always been travel; seeing the world, exploring different cultures and getting under the skin of a destination.

Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to travel extensively throughout the Caribbean and Indian Ocean to some of the most breathtaking places in the world and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences - many of which we feature here in the Elegant Resorts portfolio!

I have been fortunate enough to visit some of the world’s most beautiful destinations and I love being able to use my knowledge and experience to create the most perfect and memorable holidays for my clients.

A huge perk of the job for me is being able to explore the world and visit hotels I wouldn’t necessarily get a chance to see, learning about new cultures and meeting people from all walks of life.

I have always had a passion for travel - for me it’s not just about flying to the next destination spending money taking photos and coming back home with a sun tan - It’s about new friendships, making memories, food, culture and knowledge.
