I never had any interest to have a career in the hospitality industry. During high school, I worked as a room attendant at a hotel in Queens; I always knew I were going to have a career in the Medical field specifically in Nursing. After graduating high school, I enrolled in Medgar Evers college to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Science. Later, I quit my job as a room attendant; during, my job search for a Home Health Aide job to gain experience for my career path as a Nurse. My job search was unsuccessful; later I was hired by Star Staffing as a Room attendant working in various hotels throughout the five boroughs.

Also, I developed a passion for hotel cleaning; I enjoy working in the hospitality industry its fun, exciting and there’s a vast number of career opportunities. After taking a year from college I’ve considered changing my major from Nursing to Hospitality Management . A coworker informed me of the great Hospitality Program CityTech offers; I am thrilled to make this decision to have a career in the hospitality industry. My goal is to be a Hotel General Manager or the Director of Housekeeping.
