What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and allows me to leverage my skills in catering and education while contributing to community growth.

Hello, I'm Susanne J Sansone, a dedicated professional with a rich background in hospitality and education. My journey began in high school as a driver for a sandwich shop, leading me to earn an associate degree from the Scottsdale Culinary Institute Le Cordon Bleu. My passion for working with people flourished in the food and beverage industry, where I honed my skills in customer service and event management.

After completing my bachelor's degree, I ventured into entrepreneurship by starting a small business that catered to clients in their homes. This experience ignited my love for collaborating with other small businesses. My career took a turn towards education, where I facilitated continuing education courses and served as a certified new student orientation instructor. With over a decade of administrative experience in post-secondary education, I developed strong relationships with students and staff alike.

In 2016, I launched a small catering company, and in 2019, I founded The Sassy Fig, a food truck business that operates on weekends. My entrepreneurial spirit drives me to create memorable experiences for clients while building connections within the community. I look forward to the opportunity to share my passion and expertise with others.
