Accounts Executive

Panos

Hello! My name is Moema Professor and I work as an Accounts Executive for Asimina Tours! ?I graduated from the Federal University of Sergipe, in Brazil, and became a dentist.  I did this for a few years but this career path was not fulfilling me personally. I decided to make a big change in my life and find what made me “happy”.

Some of the things I enjoyed were travel, culture, food, children, and family time.  I spent time at a close friend’s house and got to experience what is life like in the USA.    While in the USA I met Stella, the owner of Asimina Tours.

Working for Asimina Tours  “felt right” and it was exactly what I was looking to do in life.  Since I love Culture, travel, great food, and “family”, Asimina Tours was the perfect fit for me.

I have been in the travel industry for a few years now working with suppliers in Greece, Italy, and Turkey and traveling as often as I can. I am loving every minute of it!
