HI! I'M RAQUEL
I'm excited to be among a generation that’s redefining foodservice. Inspired by my Instagram account,
Quel’s Corner focuses on the latest trends, designs and happenings in the industry. I have a passion for
food and networking, as exemplified by my leadership roles in for the Society for Hospitality and
Foodservice Management.
I'm proud to be the third generation of my family to work in managed foodservice. At elite | studio e, a foodservice project solutions firm, I'm the Managing Director of Project Operations and enjoy working alongside my Dad, brother and cousins.
