I would like to thank IDEAS and EHL for granting me this honor; but above all, I respect and admire the vision of Fabien Specht Future Revenue Manager Scholarship for not only providing aid for students, but also fostering the industry by helping future hospitality leaders grow. I will not take this scholarship for granted and continue to strive and thrive to become a successful hotelier.
