History:

I’ve worked in the travel industry since 2003 having worked for Keycamp Holidays for 4 years selling European camping and mobile home holidays. Loved selling this type of family holiday but needed a change, so hopped on a short 29 hour flight to Sydney and have been happy ever since.

Education:

Completed a 2 year Certificate in Business Studies and Tourism at Cork Institute of Technology. Recently completed the IATA Fares & Ticketing I & II course.

Money No Object Purchase: A teleport machine (when invented) so I can pop back home every now and then for a weekend with my family and friends.  I would also set up my family and friends with beachfront properties all over Oz. 

Most Defining Phase: “Life is short, live it!”
