Catering Supervisor

1. How long have you been in your current position?

I have been working in my current position since November 1st, 2019.

2. You began your career 12 years ago. Did you imagine yourself in a leadership position?

I started out as a cook, then dietary aid, later on as a dietician assistant and currently a Catering Supervisor. Yes, it was always a role I saw myself fitting into. Being the first born in the family, I gravitated to the role.

3. What are some of the most impactful contributions that women bring to the leadership table?

Women come across as more ethical, sympathetic. Women executives bring a variety of abilities and views to the table.

4. Do you believe there are enough women in leadership positions in our society?

Yes, I can say there are enough women in leadership, however it would not hurt for more women to aspire to be leaders.

5. What advise do you have for young professional women who are entering the workforce?

My advice to young professional women is to be eager to learn and willing to take on tasks that may appear mundane or beneath them. This will allow you to gradually work your way up the ladder and gain the trust of your Head of Department. Develop relationships with other successful women. Accept feedback! Continue to advance academically; there is always more to learn. One of the most essential job abilities is having the capacity to work independently, but also to recognize when you need to collaborate and operate within the framework of a team.
