As forthcoming graduate from the Goodwin College of Professional Studies at Drexel University. I am currently looking for full time positions in the Hospitality Consulting field, Event Management/Planning, and/or Tourism or International Relations.
As a Hospitality Management student I have been exposed to various areas in the industry, which has given me experience and opportunity to learn different aspects in this business. I feel I would be a great asset to any company as I have the leadership qualities through various extracurricular positions and employment I have had. Being born in Poland and raised in America, I have been exposed to different cultures and traditions and have perspective on world issues and businesses abroad. I also have been very fortunate to travel to various places and experience different culinary, hospitality, and business cultures thought-out my life. My love for international experience continued with my study abroad in England and co-operative work experience in Greece, where I worked for a five star residence and gained knowledge in hospitality business overseas.
I, having both the design and hospitality background, find appreciation in restaurant design, fine dining, careful planning and good service. I have passion for hospitality and great determination to succeed in everything I do.
