Kelly Hyatt, Travel Consultant
As a young girl of 12, Kelly got the travel bug early by flying around with her dad in his Cessna 172. They moved to Boulder City, Nevada and started a Grand Canyon scenic flight company where she began making telephone reservations for her dads company, as well as, cleaning the airplanes after the flights were over. Kelly began her career in 1995 after attending a local travel agency school. She graduated to a job with Reno Air for several years before making the jump into a retail agency where she worked at until 2001. In 2004, after working in the banking industry for two years, the travel bug began biting once again. A very dear friend was already working at Welcome Aboard Travel and soon Kelly joined our staff as a full time agent.
Kelly has been working at Welcome Aboard Travel for over 12 years in which she handles corporate accounts, sports team travel, family reunion groups, group cruises, weddings, honeymoons, exotic destinations, European Train travel and specializes in FITs. She especially enjoys designing your ultimate dream vacation. If you can dream it, she can do it.
