CONNECTION ALUMNI NEWS - César Ritz Colleges

Several graduates have welcomed new arrivals. The César Ritz family wishes them a lot of
happiness and joy in their personal lives and success in their professional lives
Sabine Achkar and Philippe Abou Jaoude (grad. 2004)
“Our life has new meaning since we became the proud parents of our first daughter
Tiffany, born on 21 May 2010 in Laval, Canada. Our bundle of joy made our life busier
but definitely more gratifying and momentous. Despite Philippe’s busy schedule in his
restaurant and my new appointment as Coordinator for the Le Cordon Bleu programme
in a reputable university, we always manage to spend some quality time with Tiffany.”

Flor Berman (née Molina, grad. 2007)
from El Salvador
“I married a little more than two year ago
and now live with my family in Hoboken,
New Jersey, near Manhattan. We are
the proud parents of Alyssa Marina, now
two years old. I’m currently doing a Master
in Education and, hopefully, will be
graduating next year. I’m also working
as a language teacher in some New York
City public schools. Achieving a Masters is
an important step in my career and it is all
possible thanks to the outstanding teachers
I had at César Ritz. I always keep everyone
from Brig very close in my thoughts and as
a source of inspiration.”
