(Edited)  I always knew I wanted to be around creativity. I noticed how sufficient I was at managing, organizing and decorating places. I found out event planning fit all of these interest. I then knew with my passion and dedication I could become a successful event planner.

[Edited] My cheerful frame of mind accompanied by my eagerness to learn has fueled my desire to be successful in the Hospitality field. City Tech is my first stop in achieving my goals. I know it won’t be my last.

It took me sometime to figure out exactly what I wanted to do. I started at BMCC as a liberal arts major thinking that eventually  I would find my passion, I did not figure it until I started working in the Hyatt Place hotel. I wasn’t even aware that the hotel industry can offer so much. Once i began to work and learn the more i fell in love with the hospitality environment. My last semester in BMCC I decided that hospitality management was something that i really enjoyed doing and wanted to keep doing. I personally hope to gain as much experience in the hospitality to go around training in the system and helping open brand new hotels. I am a fast learner and a hands on type of girl.

I never thought myself to be in  the hospitality management major. I have no prior experience in cooking or hotels in general. One might ask why do I choose a major that is so intensive in these skills. The reason is because I like to see myself progress in anything I do. In every cooking procedure you start from scratch so metaphorically I am doing that with this major. When I see myself in a career I want that to be a part of me rather than a separate piece of my day like most jobs, Hospitality management gives me skills that I can use on an everyday basis and even though I have an advantage in this major because of my curiosity in learning. I am certain this curiosity will help me excel in the future.

I attend New York City College of Technology and I major in hospitality management focusing on hotel management. My goal is to start as a front desk agent and progress my way up to a front office manager in Grand Hyatt New York. I personally believe I’m active, flexible, courteous, calm, friendly, organized, tidy, and meticulous to be a successful manager.

Edit- As an art and music lover, I view cooking as an art form of itself. My commitment, adaptability, and creativity will help me strive to attain a degree in the culinary arts and join clubs of relating to it.

EDITED. After graduating Brooklyn high school of the arts at 17 years old, and coming into New York City of Technology, I did have some goals in mind that I would like to bring in order to excel and achieve my goal in receiving my Hospitality Management Degree. The goals that I have in mind are building my communication skills, perfect my writing ability, and taking positive risks. The strengths that I bring are being well organized, managing my time properly, and my ability to adapt with new activities. Growing up in a large family household, I’ve learned what it is to be a team player by sharing my own thoughts, and ideas. My personal attribute is self motivation, I believe that if I want something, I have to go get it myself, and would do any thing I can to help achieve my goals.

When I was little and my parents cooked I would just stand close by and watch how they turned plain ingredients into something so delicious was remarkable to me. It was when I realized that this is exactly what I want to be doing. I was to become a chef who is good in both culinary and pastry arts. I aspire to amaze people with the skills I will be learning in school in hopes to accomplish everything I want to do.

Preparing myself for something bigger and better I enrolled in City Tech’s Hospitality Management course to pursue my goals. My passion and interest for hospitality has grown over the years. I enjoy seen others happy especially if its because of my doing. I’m very dedicated ,determine and humble. Anything I want I go for it and that’s exactly why I will be completing my associates degree here and then further my career goals
