Sarah Siderweck
by Elizabeth Riotto
|
--In January of this year, Sarah Siderweck celebrated her fifth anniversary of being a part of our team. She began working for us as the sample coordinator, but she quickly shifted into her current position as export coordinator and has found her niche.
--Siderweck plays a key role in ensuring that our shipping and receiving runs smoothly. Her voice is a friendly, familiar one to many of our customers as she often answers the phone, and she creates shipment notifications and contacts our customers about the shipping method. She also coordinates the trucks' schedules and all of the necessary paperwork that must ship with each order, as well as making sure that our incoming materials are accurate.
--"I enjoy that although I mainly work with shipping, I am learning a little bit about other areas of the business as well," Siderweck said. "I love to learn new things that will help me grow with Carrubba, and I also enjoy the people I work with and the overall atmosphere."
--Siderweck's colleague, Mindy Giannotti, said that she enjoys working with her. "Sarah is a team player who is always willing to help in any way she can," she said.
|
|
--Siderweck graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with an associate degree in culinary arts and a bachelor's degree in business studies. She said that her goals are to continue to learn new things and grow within Carrubba.
--When she is not at work, Siderweck gets to spend her time taking care of her two beautiful daughters. "Gianna is eleven and Molly is three," she said. "We like to go to the beach or try out fun new recipes together."

--We had the chance to relax and enjoy some great food together during our annual Labor Day picnic. It was once again catered by one of our favorite's, the Pizza Pie Wagon. The Pizza Pie Wagon is run by the restaurant, Vazzy's Osteria, in Monroe, Connecticut.
