Meet The Team
Jennifer Garris, President of Travel Pros, is a Virginia Beach Native, graduating from Cox High School in 1987. She started in the service industry at a young age of nine at her father's restaurant, The Second Alarm. From here she learned her incredible work ethic and people skills.
Jennifer has been in the travel industry since 1996 when she started at TWA. Shortly after starting, she left to work at Travel Pros. In 2005, she became the proud owner of the business she helped make "The Best of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Norfolk" for several years running! As a destination wedding and honeymoon specialist, Travel Pros has also won Sandals coveted "Best of the Mid-Atlantic" Award. Her specialties are working with couples to plan for their special day. She gathers the information and then formulates a plan to make the wedding couples dream wedding or honeymoon more special than they can imagine. Along with Destination Weddings, family reunions and other group travel pique her interests; it is like putting together a puzzle so it all fits. She doesn't find it challenging or time consuming and never are there too many questions. She encourages it because hopefully this will not be your first vacation. |
Tiya: is a Hampton Roads native and completed Travel School in 1996. She has worked in all genres of travel, with some of the best travel conglomerates in the country. Tiya has traveled to over 20 countries and enjoys sharing her travel journeys with clients to enhance their own travel experiences.
Tiya has worked with Travel Pros for years, with a four-year sabbatical on the island of Guam, where she volunteered her time as a lead with the USO, and Ombudsman for Naval Base Guam. Living in the Western Pacific, also afforded her to travel extensively throughout Southeast Asia. Fun fact- Tiya's home was located in the westernmost point by travel, not longitude in the United States. Although Southeast Asia quickly became one of her top regions to travel, her heart will always be in Hawaii. Tiya specializes in the Hawaiian Islands and can't wait to share the 'Aloha Spirit' by putting together a dream vacation to this magical land. Tiya is excited to be back with the Travel Pros dream team and looks forward to taking your wanderlust to a whole new level. |
This is only the start our lifelong relationship and hopefully friendship.
