I grew up in Westerville, Ohio, and attend The Ohio State University, WOW! I feel original... It is my love for my family and my childhood that I chose to stay local after high school and have even learned to appreciate where I come from even more. If there is someone, I could dedicate my attributes to, it would be my wonderful mother! After high school, I was someone with no plan. I first went to Columbus State to figure out what I was good at, and with the strengths I already possessed, Hospitality felt like my true calling, and I flourished in my courses. I felt a drive I didn’t feel before, and my eyes quickly opened to realize Hospitality exists in all lines of work! I am currently interning with OMC Farms and The Champion Companies LLC. Both businesses have genuinely allowed me to grow and learn more about managerial roles in each of the businesses. I strive to be a problem-solver, a teammate, an active listener, a strong communicator, and lastly, a motivator! I love to make the work environment fun and exciting to be in, and I want the people around me to feel appreciation for all that they do. After reading this, I want you to remember to be in the moment and enjoy the journey! You might strive for a promotion, a raise, etc., but sometimes we lose sight of the current successes and achievements.
