My story is not extraordinary, but my journey has been fantastic! I started working in the food industry when I was 15 years old as the dishwasher for an Italian mom and pop place in NE Minneapolis. I was not only responsible for cleaning and ensuring the safety of our guests, but I was also the official "sauce stirrer" which meant that whatever the situation, I was not to burn the sauce. And I was good.
From there I went on to various restaurants, learned every position possible and held many titles, managed many teams. I have successfully trained hundreds of people on many different levels and received awards for Leadership and Service Excellence.
In 2007 I joined Compass Group/Eurest because I wanted to be a part of the biggest food service company in the world. Over the years I worked in several accounts and met many great, hard-working professionals. Always something different every day, I have never been bored.
People often ask me what I like most about my job. Samples, of course… love to try what's trending. I also enjoy helping people solve their lunch dilemmas and plan events. Truth be told, some have called me their hero.
My favorite thing about my job is seeing the end results. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, planning a retirement party or business lunch, I will turn your vision into a remarkable and unforgettable experience.
When not working, I enjoy music, gardening, fishing, football, and spending time with my family and two rescued cats.
Excited to be here at 3M, I can't wait to meet you.
