Scholarship won: American Express Jesse Blackman Academy of Hospitality & Tourism

I graduated high school in Spring of 2010 and I am currently enjoyin gmy freshman year at Arizona State University, majoring in Business Tourism. I had a blast attending job shadow days, conferences, and having the opportunity to meet business professionals through my involvement with the Academy. Through my experiences with NAF and the interenship I did, I found the career field I want to work in. I was able to use the Jesse Blackman Award to pay for college expenses and it has helped tremendously.
