Roasting my own coffee beans! I love the process because each type of bean needs to be roasted in a specific way to reach its full potential. Over the years, many of my coffee-drinking coworkers and teammates have received gifts of freshly roasted coffee. I also like to read tarot cards in my spare time.



A new hobby of mine is Reformer Pilates!



I was a touring background singer for 2 years for an artist named Kashif. He wrote and produced for Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Kenny G, and many others. I was also fired in a rehearsal by Aretha Franklin.



I have quite the green thumb. I am very into gardening, lawn care and spending time in my yard. I am into it so much I have a striping kit for my mower just like baseball fields!



I am a classically trained singer.

I really like making pizza at home and at work.

The training helped us understand the impact of food taste and textures on customer experience.
It was a great opportunity to hear different perspectives from my team and learn how we can support one another.
I gained a better understanding of hospitality and how to approach customer interactions with a welcoming attitude.
