My name is Kyle Gartman, and I’m honored to join the Fall 2025 cohort of the Doctorate in Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. I currently serve as General Manager of a luxury high-rise in Houston with FirstService Residential. I hold both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UH and am completing a Certificate in Online Teaching and Learning. My career spans hotels, restaurants, and residential management, and I aspire to transition into higher education. I’m passionate about hospitality, leadership, and service, and I’m excited to contribute meaningfully to the program and the future of our industry.
