She stood out from day one and quickly became recognized for her distinct talent and artistry, as well as her ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. This, paired with Chef Sarah’s leadership, fostering creativity, collaboration and growth among her team, ascended her through the ranks, eventually assuming the role of Chef de Cuisine.
