From Immigrant to Hotel Manager: CMP's Transformative Impact

Dongxiao Wu, a single mother who arrived in the U.S. in 2017, faced language barriers and an unfamiliar environment. With the support of CMP's Adult Literacy Program and her dedicated teacher, Peter Gu, she began her transformative journey.

Through various CMP programs, Dongxiao not only improved her English but also gained vital life skills. She delved into workshops, attended job fairs, and explored financial literacy.  Dongxiao's journey from her student life at Laguardia Community College to her first job at the Richland Hotel and eventually becoming a hotel manager assistant is a testament to the power of education and support.

"CMP has given me a lot of strength and has helped me, a new immigrant, to learn, grow, and make progress." -- Dongxiao
