Hello my name is Rosa, I would like to first introduce myself as a very dedicated person. When I actually want to accomplish something I am committed to do so. I was born in Panama City, Panama. Since coming to New York my family had to move several times due to my dad’s new job placements. On the other hand growing up in Bensonhurst was very exciting for me, I get to meet new friends for every time I had to change schools, and with no doubt there were more than enough amenities to make Bensonhurst the place it is today. I enjoy cooking and baking with friends and family. When I was younger I wanted to be a flight attendant, with that being said I enjoyed anything that had to do with hospitality. I was lucky enough to be placed in the academy of hospitality and tourism program in my high school years. After graduating from that program, I wanted to exceed my education in this field of study. With the hope of possibly managing many luxurious hotels in different states around the world.

Growing up was a little tough for me, my mom was always sick and my dad was always at work. I was lucky enough to spent my whole childhood with my 3 sisters. As we got older, my older sister had to start working as well as college. I then had to take the role and responsibilities as the oldest one and watch over the little ones. I started working at the age of 13, I volunteered at a summer camp and I assisted teachers and went on field trips, traveling around NYC with little children. I helped out in my aunts street fair business selling jewelry, and my previous job was at a supermarket, getting a feel of retail. Currently I work in a pharmacy doing data entry. With plenty of experience working with retail, I am devoted to become a business manager. During school, I would like to intern at different hotels around New York City and work my way up from there. I will be graduating in Hospitality Managment with a bachelor’s degree. I want to be successful at what I do, so I can give my family the life that they deserve.

I can say some of my strengths are determination, and great communication skills. I am very energetic and a good team player, I can also work very well independently. I chose this major because I love to eat and I’m always willing to try new foods. I love to cook and bake and seeing someone’s smile when they try my food makes me so happy. I love traveling and meeting new people, I’m never afraid of change. I enjoy movement, I do not like to stay in one place, it excites me when I travel. I appreciate the customer service hotels provide when you check in a stay, I enjoy the feeling of busyness. I have a very strong passion to work in this field. With so much dedication towards this field of study, I will pursue my dreams to become a very successful entrepreneur.
