Esie V.

Michelle is a natural leader with an organizational focus. Michelle managed both front and back of house staff at Seedz Café, lending an empathetic ear as a she trained employees in aspects of food safety, customer service, sales, and sanitation. Her attention to detail inspired top notch cleanliness and professionalism from all staff. I believe her passion and talent for the food industry shines in a leadership or teaching role as she encourages and supports others in building their individual interests. A full spectrum all-star, Michelle cut employees appropriately during slow business at the café and helped in all aspects of the restaurant during busy times – taking orders, preparing drinks, engaging with customers on top of her main responsibilities in food preparation and cooking. Customers would often come in asking specifically for Michelle reflecting her impressive interpersonal skill set. When given freedom, Michelle translated her knowledge of traditional cooking cuisine to inventive vegan concepts. With her drive both in and out of the kitchen, Michelle will be a key asset to any restaurant!

Michelle was an amazing cook, and a joy to work with. Everyone in the company loved her, the guests found her fun and accommodating, and there was never a time that I didn't love her food. Looking forward to having her cook at my next company function!
