I am excited to start my new career in Hospitality at Waffle House! I have loved running WBM, but nothing replaces the thrill of working on a team untied together to achieve their common goal- and at WH our vision is to be America’s place to eat and America’s place to work.I will start off my time at WH at a Manger Trainee (exactly how I did at IMC) and eventually run my own restaurant.My schedule is going to dramatically change, but I know this is part of God’s plan for my life. If you are hungry and in Germantown this week, come stop by and see me at the Waffle House @ Wolf River and Germantown where I will begin my training!
