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

Knowing it’s okay to be your true self regardless of what others may think or feel. To anyone who is wanting to live their truth, I say do it and don’t be scared to be you. It will be ten times better being your true self.
