Your next MICE event could be here!

I am the CEO and founder of Groupit Travel, the premiere travel agency in the US to specialize in group travel include Meetings, Incentives and Corporate Events (MICE).  I lead a team of 70 independent agents throughout the United States, all of whom specialize in unique niches.  I am an influencer in the travel industry with a following of over 2,500 travel consultants throughout the US and Canada as well as thousands of consumers from across the country.

I am an avid traveler, having been to over 70 countries and have sailed more than 60 times ranging from 5 days to 6 weeks onboard. I am a Certified Luxury Travel Specialist, Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialist and also certified by the The Gay Wedding Institute for same-sex destination weddings. 

I am a group travel and logistical expert with over two decades of experience in customizing, designing, planning, and facilitating meetings, conventions, incentive travel, events, and group travel for both corporate and leisure groups. I am also a member of Meeting Planners International (MPI) and a certified Meetings at Sea Specialist.  As a partner and trainer with Masterminds of Travel, I have the privilege of helping travel specialists across North America learn all of the intricacies of the group travel niche and am a frequently requested speaker at industry events around the world.

Why Work with Me for Your Next MICE Event?
