What’s your job title?

Strategic Initiatives

What’s your role in getting Olivia’s products from the farm to the dinner table?

My role is developing and launching new product lines.

What’s the best part about working at Olivia’s?

It’s a family-owned business that truly cares about the products we produce, the employees that produce them and the consumers that buy them.

What’s your favorite Olivia’s product?

It used to be our baby arugula, but I have become a huge fan of our baby butter lettuce.

What’s your favorite recipe or #1 tip in the kitchen?

Never worry about having too many greens in your fridge. If you can’t use them all right away, take items like our spinach, kale, arugula or power greens and freeze them in zip lock bags. Pull them out the next time you are making sautéed veggies, soup or your favorite pasta dish. They work great out of the freezer and taste much better than the frozen greens you can buy.

You already shared your favorite Olivia’s product, but you must have a favorite cheat treat! Spill the beans on your favorite go-to snack!

It isn’t an Olivia’s product, but it is made with one! The spinach brownies that are in the Olivia’s cookbook. They are decadent and delicious.

If you could pick your all-time favorite quote, what would it be?

“Carpe Diem!”

If you could travel anywhere in the world at the end of today’s workday, where would it be?

I would need to say Italy. I need to take a culinary adventure through that country and eat everything I can.
