How did you get started at Nugget Markets?
I was in my last year of college and was getting a place on my own. A family member had recently started working with Nugget Markets and suggested I apply. I was hesitant because I had no background in food, but I gave it try, and here I am 10 years later as the kitchen manager!
What sorts of roles have you served over the years?
I started out as a courtesy clerk working part time. I transitioned into the deli, then top gun and shortly after, floor captain. I was floor captain and kitchen manager at a few stores for about seven years. When the opportunity for kitchen manager in Marin came up, I took that challenge on and have been here the last three years and counting. Go Warriors!
How has Nugget Markets helped you grow personally and in your career?
Nugget Markets is truly a family. Some of my best friends in life are those who I met working for Nugget Markets. From the beginning, Nugget Markets has always given me every opportunity to grow professionally. There have been those leaders who you meet and work with who have made a big impact along the way, they truly support you through every challenge to make you better. Without the strong support system, I would not be where I am in this company today.
And just for fun…
If you could have any superpower, what would you choose?
If I could have any superpower, it would probably be able teleport. I feel like there's never enough time in the day, so if I could save some time by being able to instantly be somewhere else that would be awesome!
