What is your background?
“I was born and raised in Guatemala. I had been a homemaker for much of my life, but I’d always had a desire to work in a restaurant environment. I appreciate quality food and have always loved cooking with fresh ingredients, which are both so important to Italian cuisine.”

What has your Eataly journey been like?
“I joined Eataly in 2022 as a Line Cook. I learned about kitchen management and improved my cooking skills so much. After demonstrating a lot of personal and professional growth, I was promoted to Sous Chef.”

What advice do you have for a fellow Eatalian?
“It’s important to remember that the main ingredient in every dish is love. This goes beyond cooking, too. As Eatalians, we allow each other to do the best we can by appreciating what each of us brings to the table. That’s what makes us a strong team, and that care shows with the quality of service we provide our guests!”

What are some fun facts about you?
“My favorite thing to do is spend time with my children and husband. I also love simple things, like the rain and taking walks.”
