Hello everyone. My name is Annaka (anna + cuh) Copeland. This is my last semester before graduating from the Hospitality Management program, here at ACC. I have previously completed the Office Administration Technology program, also at ACC, and Human Services, at another institution. I was also a Culinary major straight out of high school. After cutting ties with a job, where I was employed for about ten years, I decided to utilize my culinary credits and explore the facets of the hospitality industry. My favorite class, thus far, is Hospitality Legal Issues (Hospitality Law), which teaches managers and owners how to protect their brand/s from litigation, while providing quality care and service. I am looking forward to learn more about marketing and promoting. Fun Fact: I have a b&w American longhair cat named Tux.
