鈥淢y Mother is an NPC graduate and professor, so I鈥檝e literally grown up with NPC in
my life. I鈥檝e always enjoyed cooking and baking, but realized my full potential during
my time in the Hospitality and Tourism Program. The management skills I鈥檝e acquired
have prepared me to take my passion to a whole other level,鈥� said Hunt.
