Bio

My name is Meiying, but I prefer my friends to call me MeiMei. What got me interested in this major was how hospitality can provide a broad of different work fields. It can improve and maintain my time management skills in a sufficient manner. I definitely would love to see myself working in various places such as airline attendants to being a chef, or a service worker for resorts that do travel and tourism. As for my hobbies, I do admire cooking. I want to go beyond the foods of my culture and explore many different kinds of cuisine out there in the world. Last but not least, I would like to gain experience in internships for a non-profit organization that could help me with my teamwork efficiency skills related to cooking and tourism.
