What is your background?
“I am from Batanes, the northernmost part of the Philippines,known for its beautiful landscapes and strong cultural heritage. We are recognized as an indigenous community, and I’m very proud to be part of it. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Hotel & Restaurant Management. Prior to Eataly, I worked in cafes in the Philippines and in Dubai. In 2012, I moved to Canada with my family and focused on raising our children before re-entering the hospitality industry in 2022.”

What has your Eataly journey been like?
“I first learned of Eataly when noticing the name on a shopping bag. I read about it and felt connected to the company’s mission. After applying and interviewing, I was hired to be a Barista at Yorkville. After about a year in the role, I was promoted to QSR Lead for the opening of Don Mills. As a Lead, my role is focused on maintaining quality, supporting the team, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. This role has taught me to be firm in upholding Eataly’s values and standards, while also staying positive. I’ve become more adaptable and developed my knowledge of operations, especially in areas like ordering and working with suppliers. This role has helped me become more confident, responsible, and focused on supporting my team. I enjoy creating positive experiences for our guests and team members, knowing that my work contributes to the success of the business.”
