      Mousters (I'm not kidding) Hospitality Administration/Management

      Spending six months in Orlando Florida was an eye opening experience, to say the least, for this New York City girl. However, the education bestowed on the interns was outstanding and has impacted my career to this day.

    • Park East Tours/Classic Escapes

      Dec 1998 - Sept 2009
      Marketing and Event Manager

      Working in the captivating world of African Travel, I helped these two luxury brands build brand awareness of traveling to Africa. Long gone are the days that only allowed the likes of Hemmingway and Churchill to visit this amazing continent, now this awe-inspiring destination is accessible to even the least adventurous travelers. During my time there I traveled around the US attending trade shows and speaking to large groups about the Misconceptions of Travel To Africa. The job also involved frequent trips to South, East and Southern Africa escorting TIA members on familiarization journies. A proud success while with Park East/Classic Escapes was assisting with their "Bring A Book Foundation" which encouraged travelers to bring children's books and other school supplies to local schools while on their trip. The impact that Africa left on me will remain with me forever. Seeing nature in its raw, primal state and observing people living a MUCH different life than anything we would ever recognize here in NYC, is something that everyone should do at least once in their life.
