I have just realized while writing this that I have been in the travel industry for over 40 years! I started out working at the Edmonton Municipal airport for a small airline, before moving on in 1980 to Wardair (for those that remember the excellent-service airline). I stayed there for 10 years and worked in reservations, marketing, ticketing, customer service, and airport operations.

After learning all the ins and outs of the airlines, I made the jump to the other side - selling travel! I joined Lesley’s team in 2002 just 6 months after 9-11.

Paull Travel is a wonderful place to work, we all care about our clients. From hassle-free business travel to making your vacation dreams come true, I do it all. I like both the hustle and bustle of corporate travel and I also enjoy researching bucket-list destinations and putting together once-in-a-lifetime adventures for my clients.

• Cruising: cruises are one of my favourite ways to see the world. I especially love small luxury lines such as Windstar or Paul Gauguin.

• Egypt: I loved travelling to Egypt as an escort for our Paull Travel Exclusive group. It was on my bucket-list to see the Pyramids of Giza and cruise down the Nile river. I have to say it lived up to every expectation.

My bucket-list is big, and there are so many places that I want to explore…

• I would love to go on an African safari to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo).

I never drank wine, or even liked it… until I went to Tuscany, Italy. Having wine at every meal, I was converted. As they say… when in Rome! Now I’m a red wine lover!
