Ms. Teo Shinn
Upon graduation from Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, embarking on a journey with Starwood Asia Pacific Divisional Office - Singapore in the Learning & Development department sparked off my passion in appreciating and taking interest in the learning experiences, personal and professional development of people around me.
For me, one of the proudest moments is watching someone I have shared my experiences with, progressing to the next phase in life and career with such maturity and depth in his/her personal growth. Today, I continue to be extremely passionate about meeting young adults who are also interested in the hospitality industry. I now enjoy playing an active role as an Admissions Officer with EHL in engaging with schools in Asia-Pacific (specifically Greater China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea), positively influencing students who are in the phase of planning what's next in their life and may be seeking suitable educational or career paths in the hospitality industry.
If you may have any questions about the hospitality industry (especially about hotels) and EHL, please feel free to ask me and I'll be more than happy to share.
