"I have Known Ms. Lauren Owens since she was a student of mine at Middlesex College back in the 90’s and I have followed her in her career very closely over the years. She had worked for me at a certain point in that time, but I have also enjoyed interacting with her in the hospitality community when she was not.
Lauren has shown relentlessly to be a dependable, responsible and stable player in the local culinary world and a completely self-motivation professional. She has certainly shown to be a dedicated force as well as a talented individual in the hospitality field and her passion for boundless customer service is a wonder to behold. Her extremely strong organizational skills and stable job performance has made Lauren a pleasure to watch as her career has morphed, changed and developed into what it is today.
Lauren had shown to be a customer-focused professional and a role model for all others in the local culinary community. I can’t wait to see what comes next."
