As a senior at the Isenberg School of Management, I am pursuing a double major in Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) and Management. Growing up in the Berkshires, I developed a strong appreciation for the value of supporting local economies through small businesses. I also developed an appreciation for the strong local tourism sector which has deeply influenced my career aspirations towards sustainable and community minded hospitality.I have been fortunate to have had two different internship experiences in Western Mass, last summer in the Insurance Industry and currently as a Manager in Training in the Rooms Division of The Red Lion Inn.On campus I am the External Relations Chair for the student run HTM career fair. I also serve as the Vice President for HTM Ambassadors. This year I will be one of the head TAs for the class, "Principles of Management."
