Goals and interests
- Career goal
I've been fortunate to have found an occupation I love, that is Bar Management. Although I do not have extensive experience in the hotel industry, I have been a lead bartender for seven years and a bar manager for three years in the food and beverage industry. One of the most important and difficult lessons I've learned during this time is how to create a high-quality working atmosphere for the group of employees I supervise. This area is not only where I excel as a manager, but it is also the area I most enjoy. As a manager, I love to get results—whether it's hiring, training, or organizing events to generate additional revenue. I am not only doing what comes naturally to me, I am also doing what I most enjoy. In completing my Bachelor's Degree, I wish to pursue a career in hotel management.

I will be attending Columbia Southern University to obtain my Master's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing.
