What sets you apart from others in the same field? Being a young female owner of a successful restaurant, which was built and owned by family since the very
beginning. The fact that this a fam- ily business keeps me more driven than just the average business owner, because this is me paying tribute to the family legacy.
What are your strengths? The knowledge and passion that I have for the business is definitely a strong point. The fact that I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I will do whatever it takes to get the job done. However, finding the strength to keep it all balanced would be one of my greatest strengths. Being able to balance a
family, and a successful business at the same time would definitely be my strongest point.
What is one valuable lesson you learned along the way? Everyday is a new day, and hard work and dedication is the only thing that will put you where you need to be.
