Maria Wilson, Office Manager

Maria is the Office Magician and Juggler at Smiles and Miles Travel.

Plucked from a treadmill at Ellen’s gym several years ago when business started booming, Maria has been the invaluable ‘go-to woman’ of the Agency ever since. She not only knows the location of every client file — she knows where each client is going, where else they’ve been, the names of their kids and dogs, and their favorite tee (or tea) times.

Maria is the travel-savvy organizer who maintains Smiles and Miles Travel’s lightening-fast pace, keeping clients informed and their travel plans safe, even when Ellen is off inspecting new resorts on the Riviera Maya.
