“Everything inspires me about Stanford. I am inspired from the minute I step foot onto this beautiful campus. Seeing the vivid colors, interacting with the students, working alongside our award winning colleagues, and all under amazing leadership.”
“Words like “value,” “innovation” and “inspiration” come to mind when I think about what inspires me here at Stanford. I value one of our core mantras, which is to be the best in the business by being committed to excellence in the pursuit of delicious and sustainable food. I am inspired by the resources and innovations happening department-wide here at Stanford, in continuing to challenge ourselves to think bigger, think global and make a significant change in our world today.”
