Sandra Bedoya | Campus Executive Chef at the University of Miami
We are proud to offer our platforms to our team members to share their stories, and are pleased to feature Sandra Bedoya, our Executive Chef at the University of Miami.
“My big influence from my family is my grandfather and grandmother. Both [taught] me how to cook at 6. One of my best memories is when I cooked next to my grandfather and grandmother [with a] wood oven. I want[ed] to show people that Latinos and Colombian people are really good workers and bosses. We work with heart, you know?”
We’d also like to wish Sandra a very happy Chef Appreciation Week! Thank you for all you do every day to lead your team with culinary innovation top of mind. #ChefAppreciationWeek #HispanicHeritageMonth
