Melissa Mannion

Travel Advisor, Phair Ventures LLC
Melissa Mannion has been in the industry since 1998 when she started with AirTran Airways in Orlando, FL. At the Rosen School of Hospitality (UCF) she was one of the establishing members of the Golden Knights Wine Society. Where she was their social director and established the annual Napa Valley Trip. This is when she learned how much went into travel arrangements, new operations, and large events. She received an MBA in Project Management in 2012 because she felt it rounded out her degree in Theatre Management with a minor in Hospitality Events. A little-known fact about her is she knows ASL. She is a little rusty but is willing to help when and wherever she can.  "Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small and in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you." ~Anthony Bourdain
