I have been with DayTripper Tours since February of 2011 and am currently serving as the Product Development Manager. My team plans and develop all the fabulous excursions offered by the company.I have called San Diego home for most of my life, and have worked in the hospitality industry for over 30 years. My career started in the Transportation industry at Cloud 9 Shuttle’s Sales Office, working with meeting planners, tour operators and corporate clients. During this time, I pursued my designation as a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) which I still maintain. After almost a decade at Cloud 9 Shuttle, I left the industry for a short period of time working in the Bio Tech Industry as an Office & Facilities Manager of a “Start Up” company, still using her meeting planning skills among many others. After six years away, the passion to continue in the Hospitality Industry won, and I returned as a Senior Operations Manager for one of the local Destination Management Companies, Arrangements Unlimited. As the economy started to slide in the hospitality industry, I moved on to Tour Planning at DayTripper Tours. In addition, I operate my own company, KLA Enterprises, in which I plan and coordinate transportation for several Half Marathons in the area.
I want to join because I develop tours for DayTripper Tours and always want to network to find new destinations for my senior groups.
