Communications, involves her in travel and the travel industry, publishing,
and giving marketing and communications seminars, Enthusiastic to be

to effectively convey this interest and passion.

In his CV he says, “Working effectively with people requires effective

to the museum enterprise”, and, no dowbt he would add, to any
