what is your professional background?
Cuál es su experiencia profesional?

I spent about 2 decades in bar, kitchen and restaurant operations and management before starting with The Sioux Chef in 2019. I moved over to NATIFS in 2020.

What does your typical workday at NATIFS involve?
Qué implica tu jornada laboral típica en NATIFS?

Hard to say, but I imagine at any given time I likely resemble the Octopusauruses from The Flintstones.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Cuando eras niño, ¿qué querías ser de mayor?

A chef and restaurant owner, or proprietor of an animal sanctuary, or both!
