Marywood empowers students, making sure they find their purpose. The hospitality major gave me a taste of my field early on, starting me in hospitality classes right away and helping me to realize that this career path was the perfect fit for me. I completed both of the required internships and I also studied abroad in London. All of these experiences gave me great confidence – about my chosen field, and myself. I’m so blessed to have that assurance. I get up each day and I love going to work.
