Ut Prosim • That I May Serve

The university motto at Virginia Tech is "Ut prosim" which translates to "That I may serve." I always found that to be such a noble sentiment, which may be the reason I chose to study hospitality and service at Virginia Tech. To put someone else's needs and experiences above your own is incredibly rewarding. Life is made up of experiences and being part of making someone else's memorable is fulfilling the premise of service at its core. 

​

I believe that we elevate ourselves when we elevate others first, which is something I strive to emulate in my service strategy, management style, and in my daily life.
