Introduction to Me

Hello Everyone! My name is Marissa Mosher, and I am a Junior here at UF. I am majoring in General Business with a Specialization in Travel and Tourism. Next semester, I hope to be accepted into the combined program for a Masters of International Business. I was born and raised in Bradenton, FL, about an hour south of Tampa. My home is right off of Anna Maria Island, so I have grown up at the beach and it is one of the things I miss most while living in Gainesville. When I'm not at the beach, I love traveling, being outdoors, spending time with friends and family, shopping, and EATING. I love trying and experiencing anything new and am always down for an adventure. I hope to work in the travel and tourism industry after I graduate, potentially for Marriott or Hilton. Travel is one of the most important things in my life, and so any job where I am able to do so would make me very happy. I will be completing an internship with Hilton this upcoming summer, so hopefully that will provide me with some experience and insight into whether or not this is the best fit for me. I am very excited and looking forward to this opportunity! While I have been to many different places within the US, I had not been out of the country until this past summer when I went on a study abroad in Italy. Its focus was Food Production to Consumption, so we traveled throughout the country visiting various wineries, cheese factories, etc. learning about and sampling their products. This trip was particularly dear to me as this is where my mother is from, so it was wonderful to see all the places I've heard so much about. It was by far one of the best experiences of my life, and I hope have the opportunity to work and live in Italy someday.
