Cloey
It's not often that you find a young woman with a medical background who loves the food industry. But that's the story of Cloey Narciso. This bright young woman has been an Emergency Medical Technician and has had years of training in nursing.
However, she's also worked in the restaurant industry in Massachusetts and Florida, and found that she loves the profession---especially the cross-training she's getting from her teamates-- in Melange and in Pangea.
"I've learned a lot from them", she says, "dealing with food service, the knowledge of the many mixtures of alcohol and cocktails, the art of bartending and, most of all, how important it is to treat the customers with respect."
Cloey is learning about the higher end of restaurant hospitality and enjoys her profession so much that, when she walks in the door, "I don't feel like I'm working---I'm just enjoying the experience".
Cloey feels like she's part of a team---and that team experience is what makes Melange and Pangea so successful.
