Despite their size, she quickly learned the importance of details and will always remember the consequences of incorrectly packing to go orders. After serving tables through college at the University of St Catherine, she worked a short stint at a homeless shelter in Minneapolis. "I loved working at St Stephen's (Shelter), but my rent disagreed." She returned to Colorado Springs and began serving again. A few short years later, she was the bar manager for that restaurant.
