HWP: Michaela Ruffino & Carolina Villela

November 15, 2024 • JWU College of Hospitality Management

COHM Alumni Michaela Ruffino of Landmark Educational Tours and Carolina Villela of Envoy Boston stopped by the HWP studios for a in-depth chat about what they have been up to since graduating from the COHM. Michaela founded and launched an awesome travel company despite a pandemic and Carolina found her way back to Hospitality and is now leading the sales and marketing efforts for one of the coolest hotels in Boston. Despite going in different directions both Michaela and Carolina discuss the importance of mentorship, exploration, and understanding of the complex industry we can hospitality. It was great catching up with both of them and please be on the lookout for more HwP Episodes coming soon!
