About me

World Traveler (working, living, and traveling); currently residing in Cleveland, Ohio. I have also lived and worked in the Philippines, New Zealand, Prague, and Beirut. Travel and Tourism is my passion which was the impetus to complete my Bachelors, 2 Masters, and a Ph.D. in the area. Taught about the industry for 18 years at the university level.

Leading up to, and during, the pandemic I have been a published photographer (BBC, Financial Times, National Geographic), completed another Masters (this one focused on international education/Study Abroad), and currently looking for freelance work that can be done from home. I am an accomplished writer, researcher, photographer, traveler and teacher.
