I can’t believe that the winter quarter was my last quarter at Kendall College. Through the past year, I gained so much from Kendall College and from all faculty and students. I had the opportunity to grow as a person and as a professional. The Kendall College Trust Scholarship definitely helped me a lot to pursue my dream. I really look forward to start working and growing professionally.

After graduation, my plan is to stay in Chicago to do my OPT working in a hotel. After a year of experience, I would either consider starting a master degree or keep working within the food and beverage department of a hotel. I’m open to new experiences and to new travel. I could see myself living in New York, Tokyo, Paris or London but I am open to other destinations as well.

Thank you again to the Kendall College Trust Scholarship for helping students like me to study hospitality management or culinary arts.
