I came to the travel industry through the food and wine door in 1986. After graduating from the University of Illinois with a degree in home economics, I worked for Hotpoint, a division of General Electric, traveling to all the states except Alaska, demonstrating how to use the appliances and giving cooking lessons on the ranges. Then I worked for Leo Burnett advertising, as their home economist, supervising food photography for print and television for all their food accounts.
I had used Four Corners Travel to arrange family vacations and was asked by the owner to join them as an agent. I found that I not only loved arranging travel for others and traveling myself but that my friends and referrals truly enjoyed my knowledge, particularly of the foods and wines of France and Italy..
In 1988, I became the owner of Four Corners Travel with a partner and have stayed during the past 21 years because of my passion for travel and helping clients make their travel dreams a reality.
My favorite food and wine experiences have been the cooking classes that I attended at La Varenne in Paris and at the Acadamie du Vin in Paris. I have also taken classes on the Amalfi Coast, Provence and a cooking and marketing class in Paris.
My love of food and wine has led me to explore the areas of France and Italy that produce these wonderful experiences. I enjoy including them in my clients itineraries that I custom design for their specific desires, always striving to provide an experience and level of service that they would not be able to find anywhere else.
