October Employee Spotlight : Cinthya Cabrales

Meet Cinthya!

General Manager of PURE Roswell, Cinthya is determined, has a heart for PURE, and is an expert salsa dancer! Get to know her below.

Here she is ‘Salsa Dancing’

What is your favorite thing on the menu?

The Cubana. I haven’t eaten it lately and I miss it so much!

And your favorite thing to drink?

Easy. A Double Barrel-hold the salt

What are some of your secret talents or hobbies?

I play soccer and have a mean Elmo voice impression. When my son was younger, I used to do the voice for him because he loved Sesame Street. One day we were watching together and I decided to just try talking like Elmo and it came out almost perfect!

I also used to compete as a salsa dancer when I was a teenager. I LOVE it. So if anyone is ever looking for a salsa lesson… you know who to call!

When are you happiest?

I am happiest when I have a productive day. I like to check things off so that I am worry-free. Outside of work, I’m happiest when I’m with my son and we take the time to have an “us” day. Some of our favorite things to do together are:

Go Hiking (he hates it)
Go to the river (kayaking, tubing, etc.)
Play Soccer (his favorite)

If money wasn't a factor, how would you spend your perfect day?

I would spend the day at the beach, probably in Tulum, MX (my favorite place ever) with my son. How would I get there? I’d probably fly or take a private yacht.

What is a goal you are currently working towards?

Unconsciously, I’m always working towards owning my own restaurant- whether it be a PURE or something else. My mom passed away when I was 19 so I’ve always wanted to open a restaurant named after her called “Elena’s”.

If you had to start your own business, what would you do?

Well if I wasn’t opening my own restaurant, I would like to be a home interior designer. I like making things pretty!

Do you have any quotes or mantras you live by?

“you get what you give”

How did you first hear about PURE?

I first heard about PURE from Alex, the manager at PURE Roswell at the time, who I had worked with previously. I was really unhappy about my job and decided to just quit- straight up. The next week, he called me and asked if I knew any bartenders looking for a job. I did- it was me! I’ve been here ever since. After some time here, I began key managing and was eventually offered an assistant manager position but I originally declined the position for about a year because I was in nursing school.

What is your proudest moment at PURE?

My proudest moment at PURE is probably when I was offered the key manager position so soon after I had started bartending. It was nice to be acknowledged and recognized for my efforts.

And your proudest moment in life?

Probably when my son moved to a new school system and was tested to be in all advanced classes. I was worried that transition to a new school would be hard at his age and he just blew it out of the water!
