Hi there! My name is Jessica - a native Wisconsinite who calls
MInnesota home, but thinks traveling is best.
I am lucky enough to work my dream job as a Product Manager with a local, family-owned tour operator - Landmark Tours. My responsibilities include researching travel destinations, developing tour routes and itineraries, overseeing contract terms and deadlines, and managing individual passenger requests.
Back in 2015, I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Event Management from Iowa State University. As a student, I had the opportunity to work alongside event planners, sales managers, and community leaders. Through these experiences, I learned valuable lessons about communicating with a team and the importance of exceeding goals and expectations. I have over four years of event planning experience through various internships and roles on campus. Additionally, my experience backpacking through Europe, teaching English in China, and serving underrepresented communities in Central America has taught me how to step out of my comfort zone and focus on creating exceptional experiences for those I serve. Prior to entering my current role, I worked as a Leasing Manager for three upscale student housing developments in Ames, Iowa with Asset Campus Housing, and as a Business Travel and Group Sales Manager at the Crowne Plaza Northstar in Downtown Minneapolis. |
