Did you know the hospitality industry is the most female-friendly industry, which is one of the reasons why I picked hospitality industry management as a major, I have been working full time working in the hospitality industry since I was 17-year-old. My name is Valerie Acosta, but some people call me Val. I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in NYC. Spanish is my first language, and English is my second language. Iām interested in learning French as a third language. I enjoy taking my dog Chanel out for a walk and watching the sunset. I like to enjoy the small moment in life and remind myself to live in the moment. People might not know when they see me how much I love to travel; I enjoy exploring new places.
Traveling can be a wonderful thing to do — so much fascinating stuff and so many interesting people out there! It’s good to be in a female-friendly industry, too. And dogs… oh my goodness… Welcome to the class.
