Marife has worked at EWA for more than 10 years and is widely known as a highly skilled and client dedicated international travel consultant. She was born in Manila, Philippines and graduated in Business Administration at the University of the East in Manila and also earned diplomas form the North American Secretarial School and IATA/UFTAA International Air transport Association/Universal Federation of Travel Agent’s Association in Geneva, Switzerland.

She has also worked for several travel organizations in the Philippines for almost twenty years.  She has familiarized herself with international travel regulations and terminology, world geography, package tour calculations, reservations and ticketing procedures. Her stint with Adventure International Travel and Tours, sole representative of American Express in the Philippines made her adept to handling complicated itineraries for VIP clients and corporate accounts like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.

Marife enjoyed the travel involved with the different markets for each organization she has worked for.  She had escorted groups of contract workers in parts of the Middle East and incentive groups in most parts of Asia.

She now enjoys traveling around the US with her two beautiful daughters.  She is also into decorating her house in Maryland.  Marife loves going out with her family and friends which most of the time ends at their favorite Karaoke Bar.  She collects DVD’s of movies that she and her daughters had seen and loved. 

Marife says, "If you feel like singing, I have a huge collection of karaoke tapes and CD’s  you can borrow but make sure to return them because I will haunt you forever!"
