Mina is passionate about making a difference, both at work and in the lives of others. In her HR role, she loves knowing she’s creating a positive impact that lasts—whether it’s improving company culture or helping employees thrive.

She’s a big believer in sustainability, keeping it real through authentic communication, and giving back whenever she can. When Mina’s not busy making the world a better place, you’ll probably find her singing along at musicals, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, working on a renovation project, or soaking up the great outdoors.

Her favorite mantra right now? “The most difficult thing is the decision to act; the rest is merely tenacity,” by Amelia Earhart. It’s her go-to reminder to take bold steps and keep going, no matter what.

It’s obvious to all of us in the All Occasions Catering kitchen that Sous Chef Hector has been cooking for most of his life. His talent for bringing culinary visions to life is as natural to him as breathing and is truly an art form. Hector admits that although cooking and being in the kitchen can be exhausting at times, it’s worth it when he sees people enjoy the food he prepares. When Hector is not cooking, he loves spending time with his family and friends. His inspiration and drive both in and out of the kitchen comes from being a dad and spending time with his daughters.
