My dogs

Pelin has a bachelor's degree in city and regional planning from Middle East Technical University in Turkey and a master’s degree in recreation, parks and tourism from the University of Florida. She held various positions at Holbrook since she joined our team in 1998 but her passion has always been developing programs and being in the field. In her current role as Vice President of Product Development, along with an amazing team, she now focuses on developing new programs and destinations, translating Holbrook's vision into field operations, contracting, and managing the Road Scholar account at Holbrook. In her free time she enjoys birding, photography and cheering on the Gators. Her dream is to drive across the United States with her husband and two dogs.
