What is your favorite part of your role here at Eataly?
“My teammates are people from all walks of life, which is really cool. I’ve made friends with people from all different demographics and from all over the world, and having friendships like that is my favorite part.”

What is your favorite memory from your time at Eataly so far?
“Miley Cyrus came in recently, and my inner child went, ‘Oh my, that’s Hannah Montana!’ That was crazy, but we see fun things all the time. Being in LA, something is always happening.’”

What have you learned since joining Eataly?
“My time management skills have really improved. When you’re working at such a high-volume restaurant, you really need to be able to manage your responsibilities well, and I’ve grown a lot in that regard. I’m also always working to actively find help with anything I need or anything my teammates need, which makes things run much more smoothly.”

What advice do you have for a fellow Eatalian?
“Learn everyone’s names. We’re all working together. We’re part of this community, and we need each others’ help. We should be able to call each other by our names. It’s an acknowledgement, like saying, ‘I see you.’”

What do you enjoy doing outside of Eataly?
“I’m still in art school, and I’m an Illustration major. I’m studying to work in animation production, which I really love. I’ve been in school through the entirety of my Eataly journey, and I’ve loved it.”
