Driving through Ireland

I love to travel and bring over 25 years of experience in the private aviation industry to my role as Owner and Lead Travel Advisor of CompassSwing. I started my first business in 2012 and successfully managed a variety projects for my marketing clients for over 10 years before deciding in 2022 to pursue my interests in the broader travel and hospitality marketspace.

My business, CompassSwing, is affiliated with Nexion Travel Group. As the travel industry’s premier host travel agency since 1995, Nexion supports travel advisors in the US and Canada through partnerships with over 140 cruise, land, hotel, car, and insurance providers. Often, I'm able to find travel solutions for you that aren't available to the general public.

I specialize in travel to Europe, specifically Ireland, Scotland, Italy, and Switzerland. I'm a Gold Certified Ireland Specialist, a Switzerland Travel Expert, and a Finland Travel Pro. I'm working now to earn my specialist certificates in several additional countries.

I'm a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and recently attended the Global River Cruise Expos in Budapest, Hungary and Amsterdam to learn more about this exciting segment of the industry.

I have also completed specialty training with my preferred providers. My certifications include:

• Celebrity Cruises Certified Travel Advisor
• Virgin Voyages First Mate Gold Certificate
• AmaWaterways Certified Advisor (river cruises)
• Avalon Waterways Specialist (river cruises)
• Globus + Cosmos Specialist (land tours)
• CIE Shamrock Expert (land tours)
• Avanti Certified Expert (custom designed individual tours) 

I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Auburn University (War Eagle!) and a Master's Degree from Georgia Tech (Go Jackets!). I've loved traveling since I was just a kid and have visited all 50 states and over 35 countries.

I'd be honored to plan your next trip for you.
