I’m Marcos Ortega and I’m 19 years old going to school at City Tech  for Hospitality Management. I’m originally from Ecuador but moved to NYC three years ago to be reunited with my family. I learned English from scratch, and went to high school from sophomore year where I learned the whole American culture. Basically,  it was an introduction to the real. I’m very enthusiastic, outgoing, dedicated and always willing to learn; I run the extra mile in order to get farther each and everyday. I’m also very interested in the tourism and traveling part of my major because I love traveling, and get to know different places, cultures, and even different cuisines. I consider myself an explorer, that was the drive that got me into the Hospitality Management major.
