Teaching Philosophy

I believe it is important to provide students with a hands-on learning experience. In terms of the Hospitality industry, I have found that students learn most if they are able to see it in action. This allows them to become engaged and witness trends first-hand so that they can incorporate what they have learned in the classroom to become successful on the job. As a staff member, I will strive to support and promote interaction among the students and staff as well as industry professionals so that the students can best discover what their ultimate goals are and reach them.
