With a strong educational foundation comprising an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Bachelor of Science degrees in Travel Marketing, as well as Hospitality, Recreation, and Tourism, I am bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to my current studies. Throughout my academic career, I have demonstrated a passion for the hospitality industry and a keen interest in promoting accessibility and inclusivity within the field. My determination to overcome obstacles and pursue excellence serves as an inspiration to my peers and instructors alike. As I approach the culmination of my graduate program, scheduled for completion in Spring 2025, I remain focused on my academic goals and determined to make a positive impact in the hospitality sector. With my unique perspective, coupled with my academic achievements and unwavering dedication, I am poised to become a leader in the field of Hospitality, Recreation, and Tourism. |
