Internship Story - Megan Barr

Megan joined our Adventure Tourism Management programme after finishing her studies at St Paul's Collegiate School - Hamilton

She has always had a passion for travelling in both NZ and abroad. She also loves to “show off” all NZ has to offer to international visitors. Another thing that attracted her to the industry was the variety of career paths available and the opportunity for advancement.

Megan chose to study at QRC due to its international reputation for excellence and its extensive industry network. The course curriculum, which introduces students to all aspects of working and running a tourism business, was also a real drawcard. “Also! what better place to study Adventure Tourism Management then the tourism capital of New Zealand?” she says.

She is currently working at ONSEN Hot Pools, Queenstown as a Customer Service Representative which involves a wide range of responsibilities however the thing she enjoys the most about her role is interacting with guests and making sure they receive the best experience possible.

Her dedication to providing exceptional service and to exceeding guest’s expectations was rewarded in December last year when she was awarded the Player of the Month award.

Megan feels she has grown considerably while working at Onsen Hot Pools both personally and professionally and she attributes much of this due to the preparation she received during her first 2 terms at QRC.

Looking to the future Megan’s dream is to advance her career ultimately progressing to a management position within the Tourism and Events Industry. One day she plans to run and own company of her own.

And finally, her words of wisdom - “Be true to yourself and always do your best”

We look forward to welcoming Megan back on campus once she has completed her 9 month fully paid internship.

The end of another glorious Queenstown day.
