How did you hear about Pure?

I had known about Alpharetta and loved it. One day I was driving by when construction was going on and realized it was another Pure location being built. I live half a mile away so I applied and have worked there since the beginning. 

What is your proudest moment at Pure?

It is kind of general, but whenever I have the opportunity to turn a Guest's day around, it makes me really happy. 

...And your proudest moment in life?

Easy- The birth of my daughter, Olivia in 2014.

What is your favorite item on the menu?

The Camarones a la Parilla are my favorite. They are so good!

..And your favorite drink?

The Manarita.

What are some of your secret talents/hobbies?

I love sports, especially baseball. I also enjoy working out (running and swimming).
Secret talents? Eh... I'm a very good organizer and like to plan things. I can't stand going to bed with a fork in the sink.

Hmm.. I like my coffee with just cream?
