- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started working in restaurants in college, repeatedly getting thrown into creative and supervisory positions within 2-3 weeks despite being hired at entry level! While living in Joshua Tree, CA, I managed to get my foot in the door at the very busy retreat center there. Working with multiple freelance chefs on a wide variety of events and menus, I learned the catering ropes quickly, and began contracting events myself in 2014. Since then, networking has brought me to cater events in Lenox, MA, Sedona, and Malibu.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I often work with yoga teachers and spiritual leaders conducting multi day retreats. I have long term relationships with most of my clients who hold annual events, some who even have 2-3 events a year. I've worked with millionaire mindset groups, freelance artists and photographers, martial arts groups, intimate corporate retreats, and of course, engaged couples.
