Omar Tejumola
Financial Analyst, Park Hotels and Resorts
After graduating from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Spring 2020 and watching Covid-19 pass by, I was eager to accelerate my professional career by obtaining a Master’s level degree from a well-respected university. SHA allowed me to gain connections with other classmates, industry professionals, and our own professors who have years of experience. I was able to complete the entire program in one year while working full-time, which seems almost impossible in hospitality. This program has also allowed me to learn more about Hotel Real Estate and Finance which were things I’ve always been interested in but had only minimal knowledge. After a year of study, I’ve now been blessed with the opportunity to work for an amazing hotel REIT such as Park and put all of my operations experience together and combine it with financial and real estate knowledge.
