Background

About Ryan Degraw

I attended College of the Holy Cross where I earned my bachelor’s in economics with a minor in environmental studies. After graduating, I relocated to New York City to chase my passions in hospitality and began working in the Wine and Spirits industry. After working for both an importer and auction house, I discovered the Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) Program at Cornell University. During my tenure at Cornell University, I have undergone a transformative academic journey, transitioning from roles rooted in the fine wine sector to a comprehensive exploration of hospitality-related domains. My passion for real estate emerged during my studies, and I am now determined to align my career trajectory with this dynamic field. I have tailored my coursework to encompass essential subjects such as real estate principles, finance, modeling, properties and facilities design, and so forth. This educational foundation has not only honed my analytical capabilities but also refined my project management, communication, and technical skills, positioning me as a versatile candidate for complex challenges.I am currently exploring full-time positions upon my graduation in December 2023.
