I am from Columbia, SC.  I went to USC and studied Culinary Arts. I started working for SWC part time in 2014 as Event Staff.  My very first event that I worked was with Harrison Duke as my captain.  Billie Reeder & Ann Sweat were floor staff.  As busy as Harrison was, he took the time to properly train me with the assistance of Billie and Ann. We had so much fun it didn’t seem like work.  I remember going home and saying that I am going to love this job.  I can truly say, still to this day, I love my job!  Since I started full time in 2022, I can honestly say, I enjoy coordinating the chaos

I am passionate about this industry because I love to see people laughing, happy and having a good time.  Food makes this happen; it brings people together.  No matter what the occasion, when people gather with good food and drinks, they are happy. They laugh, they cry, they remanence, they dance and they are merry.  If there is one thing I’ve learned about the hospitality industry, it’s that you must be ready to roll with the punches.  Nothing always goes as planned, but in the end, it always works out.  You just have to keep a positive attitude and a smile on your face.

My most favorite type of event is weddings!  You get to watch as two families merge together as one.  You get to watch a father proudly give his daughter away to the love of her life as they declare their eternal love to one another.  It’s so magical to be a part of their day.  

I can write a book on the reasons why I enjoy working with Southern Way Catering.  Let’s start with the family-oriented environment that is established.  Everyone cares about each other and they are always willing to help each other out because we are a team.  I enjoy having flexibility with my work hours.  I can come in as early as I need to or stay as late as necessary in order to ensure that all of my work is complete. They also have an outstanding benefits package.  It’s also important to note that I have the best supervisor anyone could ever ask for.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family (particularly my grandbabies), reading a good book, and traveling to the beach.
