I had always dreamed of working in beautiful hotels and resorts and giving people from around the world top-notch service and hospitality as a hotelier. But when I ended up interning instead at an award-winning digital agency focused on performance marketing, I turned it to my advantage and practised the best customer and client service skills I learned in the HELP BBus Hospitality Management programme. For my performance I was offered a job as a SEO specialist by the company. Now I am inspired with a vision to apply my skills in SEO and my experience of digital technology to help develop hotel chains in Asia to new levels. The HELP BBus Hospitality Management programme could help me achieve my dream beyond expectations.
