Testimonials

"I haven't always been interested in hospitality. By attending The Hospitality High School and interning at the Hotel Association of Washington, D.C., I became aware of the tremendous opportunities for minorities to become senior managers within the industry. A fire ignited when I realized this because I knew that I had an opportunity to be a part of and help change the industry. I'm motivated and ready for success."
