“Winning the Travel Industry’s 40 Under 40 means that I'm running in the correct direction," Andre said. "I remember being a new travel agent a long time ago and not having the support that I needed to excel, so I decided to become the difference! In the famous words of Mahatma Gandhi & Charles Gill:
- “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi
-“There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you don’t do them.” – Charles Gill
I choose this path, and this is just the beginning,” Andre said.

"Tyra definitely should be on the 40 under 40 travel list. She went from a medical career to selling and mentoring others to sell travel. She has established her own successful agency and You tube channel. She is focused on acquiring and training travel agents that will make the industry excel and not decline," said Chequita Evans of Reset and Go Travel.
"She wants all travel agents to be efficient, proficient, and to excel at selling travel. She has a perfect niche that she lives by so it so natural and authentic to her customers. Plus she is completely dedicated to her craft and it’s unbelievable what she has accomplished under the age of 40."
