“Trust your instincts, trust that you have done the training needed to trust your team.„
EXPERIENCE
EDUCATION
When hiring, I look for a willingness to learn, attention to detail, and solid organization.
Attention to detail is the most important for my job.
I find inspiration through different cultures (Palestinian, American, third culture), local produce, and ingredients.
I take weekly pottery classes as a form of self-care.
I regularly listen to the podcasts How I Built This and Hidden Brain.
I currently employ across four restaurants 12 women, 10 of whom are women of color. Diversity is so important in any field. Bringing together a team with different backgrounds and experiences leads to fostering creativity, enhanced learning, and personal growth for everyone.
I can't do my job without the team around me.
