Alliance Abroad

What inspired you to travel abroad?

In my career with The Ritz-Carlton recruiting has also been one of my main responsibilities: actively looking for talent, developing current talent through mentorship and training, and maintaining relationships with former colleagues. Although AAG is not a hotel, the same principles apply here. Finding great talent internationally that we can nurture and mentor for an incredible placement. We maintain constant contact with the students during their program and build long lasting friendships.

I chose to work abroad because I felt my life back in Florida was getting stale. When I looked at my day-to-day, it was very predictable. I wanted to try something that would put me in a new environment and force me to be a bit out of my comfort zone.

I chose to work abroad because I was at a major crossroads in my life. I had just finished college, obtaining a degree that I no longer wanted to pursue in the professional world, but I was not sure what else I could do. I knew that I wanted to travel, but financially could not just travel for several months alone. I decided working abroad was my only option. Luckily, I had a few years of serving experience and hospitality is one of the top industries for young people to work in abroad.
