Accomplishments

What advice would you give?

I will advice other students to get involved on campus with their professors, advisors, and student's organizations. The connections we make, set us apart. If it was not for the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality, I would not have gotten my internship with Sodexo. Furthermore, be willing to learn, adapt to change and get engage during an internship.
