Owner, Dish T’Pass
Why is passion in your work
so important?
We’ve all probably heard the quote, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” While we all have rainy days in our professional and personal lives, there is a great deal of truth in this expression.
What makes you passionate about your role?
My passion is bringing people together around the family dinner table. As the mother of four (mostly grown) children, I have had nearly 25 years of experience creating meals that are delicious, easy to prepare, and that allow people to share and connect. I have always called this coming together around a great meal FoodLove.
How do you stay passionate during difficult times?
Just because I am passionate about Dish T’Pass, doesn’t mean that every day is filled with excitement. In fact, I’ve had my fair share of challenges. However, it’s at these challenging times that I am sustained by my passion for sharing FoodLove with my community.
What role does passion play in your work?
As I look to the future, I am passionate about exploring new ways to connect with people. This is really the secret sauce of the Dish T’Pass brand, building genuine and lasting relationships with the people we serve. So, whether it’s finding ways to leverage technology or discovering new markets, every day presents new opportunities. I am excited to see what’s next; this is what fuels my passion each and every day.
