q: What do you do?
a: Help guests at the front desk of the Hilton Garden Inn in Lake Mary. Funny, I worked at theme parks and restaurants for all four years of college, and said I'd never work in a hotel.
a: I like how we are really close to the guests that we call them by their first name. We have great relationships with some of the regulars. It's also a fun staff, and small enough that we praise each other's efforts.
a: Keeping myself entertained during non-peak times.
q: Do you stay in touch with any other UCF hospitality alums?
a: Most often: JP Philip '07, Andy Yaffee '08, Jessica Goldstein '06, Megan Oxman '06, Shannon Cole '06, Alison Tomaska '97, Blair Keller '08 and Lydia Hueneke '08.
a: At the theme parks or a Magic game. I have a Sea World annual pass and am a full season ticket holder of Orlando Magic tickets for the second year.
a: Being elected to the board of the Rosen College Chapter of the UCF Alumni Association. Also, eating a record 375 clams and mussels at the Yacht & Beach Club.
a: It got me out of my shell. I networked with anyone and everyone.
a: More parking! Also, once the gates were added, it became a different school - more closed-in and isolated like a private school. It had a better feel as an open campus.
a: Serving at the Grande Hospitality Gala. My whole first semester was an incredible experience, meeting new people and having inspiring classes with Paul Rompf, Ron Logan and Kim Severt.
a: Oysters at Lee and Rick's on Old Winter Garden Road. They can't shuck them fast enough to keep up with me.
a: I don't have one, but if I did, it would have songs by Billy Joel, Duran Duran, The Who, Def Leppard and The Police.
a: I hate rice.
