Tina has worked in the travel industry since she was 19 years old. She started at Trans World Airlines in the reservations department. But 6 months later Tina got the chance of a lifetime. She moved to New York to be a flight attendant! Tina's first flight was to Milan. She remembers standing on her hotel balcony, overlooking Lake Maggiore, pinching herself and saying out loud, “I’m in Italy!!”

Tina worked for TWA for 5 years and then took a job as a marketing rep for Trans World Express (TWE – TWA’s commuter airline partner). After a few years, she decided to try something different. She started a new job as a corporate travel agent at Maritz Travel Company. She has been lucky to have gone on many Fam Trips – Australia, Chile, London/Paris, Ireland, Germany/Italy. Unfortunately, she lost her job at the end of 2020 due to Covid. But thanks to Brentwood Travel, Tina's back doing what she loves!

Tina is fortunate to have had many opportunities to travel all over the world. It’s hard for Tina to pick her favorite but she loved Australia, Ireland, and Hawaii. Some of Tina's favorite memories are-

• Climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge, watching the Fairy Penguin Parade on Phillip Island, and getting her picture taken with a Koala Bear. 
• Spending the night at Dromoland Castle, climbing to the top of Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone, and taking a tour of the Waterford Crystal Factory.
• Going to the Punalu’u Black Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii and taking a helicopter tour of the island to see inside the Kilauea volcano.
• Swimming with dolphins and stingrays in the Caribbean.

Some of Tina's favorite pastimes (when she's not traveling) are spending time with her family, friends, and her 2 Australian Shepherds, Cooper and Harley. She also loves watching sports. Her favorite teams are the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Blues, and the Kansas City Chiefs!
