My role at the Co-op is produce stocker.  I have worked at the Co-op for approximately three years. The thing I enjoy most about my work is being able to be in close contact with beautiful organic fruits and vegetables! I was drawn to work at the Co-op by the people who work here. 

Everyone seemed to be unique in their own way and were accepting of others’ individuality as well. I am proud of the care and creativity I am able to present in produce displays and its positive effect on customers.

As for where I see myself in the future, I would like to keep working at the Co-op for as long as I can (or as long as my body allows me to)!

Outside of work I enjoy nature watching, listening to music and spending time with my family. I am an avid Cure fan and went to see them live at Madison Square Garden two summers ago. I am looking forward to our yearly vacation trip to Florida in April and having some beach time on Anna Maria Island.  

As for other jobs I have been teaching dance in various forms for over 30 years and currently teach at Contemporary Dance and Fitness Studio. I have also worked as a para educator in the public school and was a waitress at the Wayside Restaurant for many years.
