Bryna Benkenstein first heard the phrase, "If it's meant to be, it's up to me", four years ago during a time she needed to hear it most. After a divorce, losing her 16 year old dog, after starting over from the bottom in a new career.

Benkenstein thought about this phrase for only a few days before she took it to heart and determined it to make it her mantra. A few days later she enrolled with Boise State University to finish her Bachelor's degree and applied for a leadership development program with her employer.

A year later, Benkenstein completed the leadership development program and was promoted to manager. Two years later she successfully completed her Bachelor's degree and added a Communication Management Certificate to her list of accomplishments

Today, she is happily re-married and a successful manager helping to develop and promote her own team. Always seeking new adventure and having a mind for entrepreneurship in which she holds an Associates Degree, and a passion for travel she is excited to start her path with Travelmation.

Benkenstein has traveled since she was very young taking cruises and going to Disneyland with her family. She even attended the World's Fair in Canada in 1986 when she was jut 5 years old. Benkenstein also attended travel school in Tuscaloosa Alabama in 2000 with the desire to help other families travel much like she was able to while she was younger, however life and her career took her in a different direction.

Now that she has finished her goals in higher education and has seen a successful career in management, she is excited to continue living by her mantra and "get out there", with Travelmation, Travelmation is a leading Disney Vacation Planner and an Earmarked Diamond Producer; a U-Preferred agency for Universal Orlando; a Preferred Partner of Royal Caribbean International; and a verified Sandals and Beaches agency.
