About

MY BACKGROUND

I have been passionate about the Hospitality Industry ever since I got a job at McDonalds back in 2019. This allowed me to experience what it's like to work in the restaurant industry and I came to realize how well I thrive in this environment. The Hospitality Industry is all about serving and helping others, which is something I am looking to do in life because I enjoy giving back to others and helping people in any way that I can. I hope to work in a hotel, on a cruise, or in an amusement park one day because I would have the benefit of gaining new skills and experiences along the well, as well as have the opportunity to travel the world. I truly believe that this a great industry for me to work in, and can't wait to start exploring the different jobs t 

 

Throughout high school, I joined a business club called DECA, the Spanish Club, the Honors Society, the school golf team, and I was one of the Class Presidents. Being involved in all these activities allowed me to gain leadership roles, volunteer experience, new skills and abilities, and really showed me that I can accomplish a lot in life. One of my favorite things about high school was being one of the Class Presidents because I was able to be in charge of my class, organize fundraisers and events, and worked with people to achieve as many things as we could've that year. Being part of the DECA Club was one of the best things I did in high school because I gained a lot of knowledge about the business world, I was an officer that helped run the club my senior year, and I competed in business related competitions that were about the Hospitality Industry. Even though I was involved in a lot of different activities throughout my high school years, I always made sure to maintain a great GPA and seek any help I needed from my teachers, counselors, and mentors as I got older.
