About

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Georgia earning my degree in Hospitality and Food Industry Management. My academic journey has provided a robust foundation in hospitality principles, strategic management, and customer service excellence. With hands-on experiences at various companies, I've gained practical skills crucial for success in the dynamic field of hospitality. Currently a Lead Student Supervisor at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education and Hotel on campus, I oversee seamless guest experiences during UGA sporting events, managing check-in/out procedures, collaborating with housekeeping for 190+ rooms, creating reservations, and safely operating the hotel shuttle. I am eager to explore hotel management opportunities as I navigate towards a fulfilling career in the hospitality sector.
