In all honesty, if you would’ve asked me 20 years ago, I wouldn’t have thought working in produce would be a career path for me.

My current produce industry passion is just simply growing organic, healthy foods for our consumers and our retail partners. To us, it’s very important that we’re producing the healthiest foods for our consumers and our retailers, and making sure that it’s done responsibly, organically and sustainably, just the way Divine Flavor is intending it to be.

Throughout my tenure in produce, my mentors have been leaders of Divine Flavor. Alan Aguirre, who is the current chief executive of Divine Flavor; Alan Aguirre Camou, who’s the chief marketing officer, as well as Carlos Bon Camou and Jose Antonio Martinez. Having great leaders allows us to flourish in our current roles, and not only for my position, but across our entire company, whether that’s the warehouse, our logistics team, our sales team. So having great leaders definitely inspires and motivates us to be passionate workers.

Getting into this industry has been a very pleasant surprise. It’s an industry that requires full dedication to be very passionate, and dedicated in what you do. For me, just being able to come to work every day, wanting to have the attitude to learn something more, and to contribute to this industry, is what makes it special for me.
