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 the Society for Hospitality and
Foodservice Management. I recently completed my term as the organization's President.
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 Vice President of Business Development and enjoy working alongside my Dad, brother and cousins.
