TRAVEL WARRIORS - Key Persons
Michelle started her travel industry career with Delta Airlines in 1996 in their Los Angeles based reservation center. From there she moved up the ranks and worked for a ‘Mom & Pop' local travel agency for a few years. Her first experience working for a Travel Management Company was with World Travel where she handled travel for an engineering firm and it was here that she became fully exposed to the world of corporate travel. Hungry for more exciting and challenging responsibilities, she decided it was time to move on and took up a position with Disney Travel Services. Unfortunately the tragic events of 9/11 severely affected the travel industry and she was laid off due to the economic downtown and uncertainty. However not far long after she was hired by Paramount Pictures to handle their VIP desk. After a couple of years she decided to join the Sony travel family handling various travel functions including their VIP desk, publicity and private/chartered jets. Her most recent position was with ALTOUR as Head of Publicity Travel for Entertainment in which she supervised publicity travel movements for clients such as Lionsgate, MGM, EPIX, and Pantelion Films. In 2019, Michelle became Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Travel Warriors. In August 2021 Michelle assumed full and sole ownership of Travel Warriors.
