What first inspired you to get into your line of work? And what motivates you to do the work you do still today?
Life is a JOURNEY that takes a lifetime to cultivate is not just some cliche to me but a lived real-life experience.
As a child, I had DREAMS of becoming a “missionary” without fully understanding what it truly meant. As an adult, I was graced with the opportunity to serve in the US ARMY and experienced cultivated travel experiences in South Korea and all over the USA from New Hampshire to California.
Although I never became a missionary, travel is my passion and in my leisure, I have traveled to Central America and several Caribbean Islands to include the Bahamas, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, and the ABC Islands of Aruba and Curacao. I have been on a total of six cruises with Royal, Carnival, Celebrity, and Virgin Voyages, and my first two as a solo traveler. I still have a few “bucket list” travel DREAMS to include Europe, Africa, and maybe Alaska, lol…
How did you come to faith in Christ?
I came to faith in Christ in my teenage years and developed a solid relationship with God as a young adult and my personal relationship has and continues to grow stronger in my middle adult years. One of my favorite scriptures, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13), reminds me that the choice of accepting God as my Lord and Savior was and continues to be the best decision I’ve ever made.
How does your faith impact the way you do business?
My faith is the foundation of everything I seek, think, walk, lead, live, follow, and keep, which coincides with how I conduct my travel business. Another favorite scripture that inspires me as it pertains to my business is:” You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other” (John 15:16-17). I know the fruits of my labor are not in vain, and whatever is lost, be it monetary, time, or effort, God will never disappoint.
What ministry/cause do you champion and why?
Honestly, I don’t have a specific cause or ministry at the moment, but travel is hospitality. I know that God loves his creation- mankind/humanity. God is everywhere in the marketplace, churches, schools, neighborhoods, and even on leisure & land cruises and vacations, lol… It is truly in Him that we live, move, and have our being. I am humbly grateful to have the resources, passion, and fortitude to serve in the Travel & Tourism industry.
