Own and Operate a Travel Agency in a specialized Niche market.  This has taken me many places in the Caribbean.  I love to travel and explore new and exciting places to enhance the agency with additional places for my clients to visit. 

In the past 30 years have owned two successful businesses, due to the loss of my husband, I have taken on all aspects of running both businesses, from day to day tasks to overall projections of future sustainability for the businesses. Although I have been immersed in a variety of skills and have worn many hats in my businesses, I am seeking an additional opportunity to use the skills I have obtained to secure my financial future.
