Vickie Kozhushchenko ’96

Vickie (Littler) Kozhushchenko ’96, Vice President – Human Resources for Clean Earth, Inc. shares with us what it means to her to be a Hotelie for Life®.

“I’m a Hotelie for Life^® for so many reasons. One primary reason is because everywhere I go, I look for opportunities (to paraphrase E.M. Statler) to ‘give a little more – a little better service’. People feel good and do good when they know you’re going the extra mile to help them out, whether it’s behind a front desk, behind a. stove, or behind the scenes in an organization – a lesson I learned early on in my Hotelie life from amazing people like Giuseppe, Cathy Enz and Bruce Tracey. It’s at the core of my decision to follow a career path in Human Resources and focus in on leadership development and career coaching, and it’s what I teach my two girls as we strive to help others locally and around the world.”
