Biography

The passion Novie found for the industry at tourism high school in Indonesia led her to Switzerland to study Hotel Management at IHTTI in Switzerland (BA, Bournemouth University, UK). She worked for several hospitality companies, including Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, in the U.S. and Canada prior to pursuing her MBA in Hospitality and Tourism at the University of Guelph, Canada. She took the opportunity to work as a Course Developer and Research Assistant for the University of Guelph assisting faculties with various internal/consulting projects before she joined the University of Surrey first as a Research Officer for ITCA (International Travel Catering Association) at the Travel Catering Research Centre (TCRC). Previously she also had involvement with a few non-profit organizations with focus on the development of young people. She continues advancing her knowledge in the industry by pursuing a part-time PhD study at the University of Surrey, researching learning and gap year travel (see Research Interest section for further details on Novie’s Research Area).
