About
Hello! I'm looking to take on additional projects and hourly work each week on an as-needed or recurring basis. As a Tern specialist, I provide comprehensive assistance with new Tern account setup, custom Tern workflow creation, and Tern template implementation to streamline your business operations. My expertise as an experienced travel advisor well-versed in custom FIT travel planning and cruise bookings means I can be that extra set of hands for your planning needs, workflow optimization, or serve as a soundboard to review and refine your ideas.

I've been in the industry since 2023, bringing both expertise and genuine passion to every project. My hands-on experience with Tern, Travefy, and Safari Portal means I can jump right in to help perfect client proposals or develop captivating itineraries. And here's something a bit different—my background as a former NYC pastry chef and sommelier gives me a special eye for exceptional food and wine experiences that clients remember forever.

Having also spent years in government before finding my calling in travel, I understand the importance of being both thorough and responsive. I pride myself on clear communication, meeting deadlines, and keeping all those moving pieces organized so you don't have to.

Some ways I can support your business are:
- Tern automation and workflow creation
- Detailed itinerary development (with culinary insights, if needed)
- Comprehensive destination research
- Process streamlining to make your days smoother
- Careful proposal and itinerary proofreading with an eye for detail

I can be available at hourly rates, set weekly hours, or project-specific pricing—whatever works best for you. I am currently operating from the Eastern time zone in the U.S., and I have flexible availability in terms of working days, evenings, and weekends. My typical response time to inquiries and messages is within 1-3 hours (or sooner) if sent between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST.

Let's chat about how I can take some tasks off your plate while adding that special touch your clients will appreciate. Looking forward to connecting!
