TIME FLYS TRAVEL - Key Persons
I worked for ten years in wholesale Travel before moving to Corporate and Retail where I spent the last eleven years. I then lived and worked in PNG for four years
My passion for travel began in the early 80's, my first trip to Indonesia, I haven't stopped since.
I started my career in travel 28 years ago where I was fully trained as a domestic and international consultant for a busy corporate agency. I personally looked after many corporate accounts such as Apple Computer, Volkswagen Australia, Cannon, AMP, MAN trucks and many more. I was promoted to Sales & Marketing Manager. These days I am specialising in cruising holidays all over the world and especially love organising anything associated with Europe and America.
I spent the first eleven years of my working life at ANZ Travel in both holiday/leisure travel and corporate travel. My last position with ANZ Travel was Manager of their office at Brookvale. I taught Travel & Tourism classes at Seaforth & Brookvale TAFE, for 6 years.
I still remember the moment I fell in love with travel. I was in Year 6 and I had to do a school project on Switzerland. I thought the place was magic: green pastures, cows and cowbells, snow capped mountains, scenic railways, chocolate, cheese, cuckoo clocks and neutrality. I was hooked and dreamed about Switzerland and many other places all over the world for the next 10 years till I took my first overseas trip. I have been travelling ever since.
My career started in the finance sector running claims departments and re-engineering projects with up to 20 staff then I moved to a senior management role with FAI with a focus on marketing and had a staff of 120. A career change took me into travel, 10 years later I bought a travel agency.
