Darlene Proctor, a student at Anne Arundel Community College, recently took the national spotlight on NBC's morning show, The Today Show.

Proctor, of Windsor Mill, talked on the show about classes she's taken at the community college's Hotel, Culinary Arts and Travel  (HCAT) institute, a rapidly expanding section of the college's course portfolio.

On the show's Monday morning program, Proctor said she wants to learn how to expand her home-based party catering business into a brick-and-mortar store.

The student got some tips from a national expert in the advertising field, Donny Deutsch. Watch the full video on NBC's website.
