Jenn joins us from Vancouver Island to chat about all things travel; from working at a bank to finding her career and passion in tourism she is a seasoned marketing and communications professional with a rare balance of executive level experience in hotels, non-profits, and destination marketing combined with a passion for learning and sharing. Jenn holds a Master of Arts in Tourism Management (MATM) through Royal Roads University, and is a doctoral candidate in the Doctor of Social Sciences Program at Royal Roads University.
Her role in tourism disaster management and communication stemmed from when hosting a large corporate event in Toronto during 9/11 she experienced first hand the importance of emergency preparedness and has made it her mission to share this knowledge.
We talk advice for travelers now as we come out of 2020, how points systems with airlines can get you complimentary upgrades, where the best places to travel in the Caribbean are and Jenn goes right into one of the best spa experiences you can get in Canada at the Tigh-na-mara resort!
