“Being given more opportunities to express myself in original ways brought out the best in me. As a result, I will be of better service to other people and to society at large.”
Stephanie is a recent graduate from the MBA in International Tourism and Hospitality Management online programme at Barcelona Executive Business School. Stephanie been working as the Director of Academics at Lantana College for the past four years, and found a true passion in the hospitality and catering industry.
Women like Stephanie, who have already achieved the highest level of training available within the country, must pursue educational opportunities outside of Nigeria to further their careers.
WONDER provides partial scholarships to help ambitious women complete their higher-level studies in Spain. By doing so, women like Stephanie can become the next generation of leaders and teachers in hospitality schools.
Stephanie says:
“This qualification has broadened my knowledge and given me many professional insights and soft skills, like better communication, networking and problem solving skills. My teaching style has also been influenced. I am going to foster more individuality and teamwork among my students.
Being given more opportunities to express myself in original ways brought out the best in me. As a result, I will be of better service to other people and to society at large.I have learnt a lot of technical things about the industry. But most of all, I have learnt and come to realize that hospitality boils down to looking after people.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to improve my education and outlook. My professional skills have improved in so many ways. This will be translated into improving the quality of education that the students receive from our colleges, so that they can be even better professionals.”
By providing women like Stephanie with the economic support to pursue further education, they will be able to return to their communities with enhanced knowledge to improve the lives of those around them.
Thank you for giving women the education and skills to become leaders in their communities.
With gratitude,
Nicole Bayes-Fleming and the WONDER team.
