Language, Learning, and a Love for Cooking

with Guadalupe Reyna

Whether training new employees or helping them learn another language, Guadalupe Reyna has a passion for inclusivity in the kitchen.

Guadalupe Reyna (she/her), a Food Service Professional now in our Corrections line of business, has seen her career opportunities grow every day with Aramark. Not only that, but as a leader on her team, Guadalupe has made a massive impact helping others learn their way around a kitchen, learn new languages, and grow their careers despite the challenges they face.

 

Even before she started at Aramark in our Business Dining line of business as a cashier 8 years ago, Guadalupe, known as Lupe, had heard from others about how welcoming, supportive, and ripe with opportunity Aramark was.

 

“I heard about the company from a friend who worked here. She spoke very well about the company, mentioning that Aramark helps people a lot and that they consider you. But what really motivated me was that the company gives you opportunities to grow. My passion is for cooking, and I saw a great opportunity to start that journey at Aramark.”

 

Over time, with the support of her managers and coworkers, Lupita was promoted to a rewarding and challenging role as a Food Prep Worker and learns more and more about the culinary arts every day. In the process, however, Lupe found that her true passion was for leading, teaching, and helping others.

 

“I really had the opportunity to share my knowledge with people who came from other states, from other countries, who found themselves relying on me to teach them. The funny thing is that they didn’t speak English or Spanish, but I managed to find a way to work together.”

 

Through Aramark’s partnership with the International Rescue Committee, a program that helps resettle international refugees from some of the harshest conditions in the world, Lupe was able to work with a diverse range of people including over 15 teammates from Africa, Turkey, Nicaragua and beyond. This meant that in order to communicate, train, and connect effectively, she had to get creative.

“The training was done like a game. I would show them a recipe, and since we spoke different languages, I would ask, “How do you say this?” and I would point to the vegetables or the milk and so on. Sometimes, I would tell them to take a picture of the meal we made, then ask them to take the picture out later and it would help them remember.” So, little by little they were learning, I was learning, and we were playing and creating while doing it.”

 

While training new employees and teaching people new skills is difficult, working through a language barrier can require even more patience and compassion. For Lupe, who now speaks both Spanish and English, her motivation to help others stems from the compassion she experienced as a new hire herself.

 

“The first thing is that I put myself in other peoples’ shoes. I remember when I arrived, I didn’t even know how to say “Thank you” or “Okay” in English, and that’s what motivates me. I remember that I needed a person by my side to teach me, to guide me. And that’s what I try to do with people, to help them learn the way I learned, to give them that motivation and that push to show that there is someone who is interested in helping them learn and move forward. That’s what fills me up.”

I remember when I arrived at Aramark, I didn't even know how to say "Thank you" or "Okay" in English, and that's what motivates me to help others. I remember that I needed a person by my side to teach me, to guide me, and that's what I try to do with people. To help them learn the way I learned, to give them that motivation and that push to show that there is someone who is interested in helping them learn and move forward. That’s what fills me up.

— Guadalupe Reyna

Q + A

  • What advice would you give someone trying to learn a new language in the workplace?

    My advice would be not to give up, first of all, and to learn how to listen to those around you, work as a team, and have confidence in your work team. Because that's where we learn, from people who already have the experience that we don't have.

  • Why do you love your job?

    I love to prepare food and I love to teach people. Look, I tell people who have been learning with me, how do you go to church on Sunday? You put on your best clothes, you put on make-up, you dress up, you comb your hair to look good, for others to see you, to feel happy. The same goes for a salad, you have to see the colors, you have to make it look pretty so that when people see the presentation, they want to eat it. Put love into it. They laugh and everything but they are learning as I tell them. If you put love into the food, people will fall in love with it.

  • How has Aramark helped you grow professionally?

    Aramark has helped me grow as an employee and as a person. The way we are treated by the managers is as humans, as a team, it is something that I think the company also educates them [the managers] on. Aramark guides them to be able to have happy employees. We work as a team here. We all work hand-in-hand, we all communicate and that's what Aramark has given me - the growth, both as a person and as an employee.

  • What advice would you give to someone considering joining Aramark?

    My advice would be for them to come with the desire to work, first of all. And to come with goals, because if you have goals, you can do more in this company. And don't get discouraged, always ask for more opportunities, always be be hungry to learn, that's what I would say. Not to stay in one place, learn, have that passion to say 'I've learned everything in this position, I want more, I want more'. Because we are in a place where it can be done, that's what I would say, keep an open mind.

  • Do you have any great memories from your time at Aramark?

    There are so many. The first one that comes to mind is when I was a cashier, I was very excited because I said "this is the job I want", and then a manager came to me and said, ‘Oh, I've seen that you're happy here and that you're doing everything very well, but I see you’re also looking to do something else.’ I said ‘Like what?’ She said, "You tell me. I see you with that eagerness, because I see you walk into the kitchen and stare at the tables, I see that passion, but you don't ask." I said to her, "Did you really notice that?" And I was happy because there was a person who noticed that I that I wanted to do something more in the kitchen, that the outside was getting too small for me. I felt important that someone noticed that I wanted something else, another skill, to learn something else. That really stuck with me and that's one thing I've never forgotten.

Idioma, Aprendizaje, y Amor por la Cocina

Con Guadalupe Reyna

Ya sea entrenando nuevos empleados o ayudándoles a aprender otro idioma, Guadalupe Reyna tiene una pasión para la inclusión en la cocina

Guadalupe Reyna

Guadalupe Reyna, Profesional de Servicio de Alimentos, quien ahora forma parte de nuestra línea de negocios de Correccionales, ha visto crecer día a día sus oportunidades profesionales con Aramark. No solo eso, sino que como líder de su equipo, Guadalupe ha tenido un impacto masivo al ayudar a otros a emprender su camino en la cocina, aprender nuevos idiomas y hacer crecer sus carreras a pesar de los desafíos que enfrentan.

 

Incluso antes de comenzar en Aramark en nuestra línea de Comedor de Negocios como cajera hace 8 años, Guadalupe, conocida como Lupe, había escuchado de otras personas sobre lo acogedor, solidario y lleno de oportunidades que era Aramark.

 

“Me enteré de la empresa por una amistad que trabajaba aquí. Habló muy bien de la empresa, mencionando que Aramark ayuda mucho a las personas y les tienen consideración. Pero lo que realmente me motivó fue que la empresa te brinda oportunidades para crecer. Mi pasión es cocinar y vi una gran oportunidad para comenzar ese trayecto en Aramark”.

 

Con el tiempo, y el apoyo de sus gerentes y compañeros de trabajo, Lupe fue promovida a un rol gratificante y desafiante como Trabajadora de Preparación de Alimentos, donde aprende más y más sobre las artes culinarias todos los días. Sin embargo, en el proceso, Lupe descubrió que su verdadera pasión era liderar, enseñar y ayudar a los demás.

 

“Realmente tuve la oportunidad de compartir mis conocimientos con personas que vinieron de otros estados, de otros países, y se encontraron confiando en mí para enseñarles. Lo curioso es que no hablaban inglés ni español, pero logré conseguir la forma de trabajar juntos”.

 

A través de la asociación de Aramark con el Comité Internacional de Rescate, un programa que ayuda a reubicar a refugiados internacionales provenientes de algunas de las condiciones más duras del mundo, Lupe pudo trabajar con una amplia gama de personas, incluidos más de 15 compañeros de equipo de África, Turquía, Nicaragua y otros lugares distantes. Esto significó que para comunicarse, capacitar y conectarse de manera efectiva, tenía que ser creativa.

“El entrenamiento se hizo como un juego. Les mostraba una receta y, dado que hablábamos diferentes idiomas, les preguntaba: “¿Cómo dices esto?” y señalaba las verduras o la leche, etc. A veces, les decía que tomaran una foto de la comida que preparamos, luego les pedía que la observaran más tarde ya que les ayudaría a recordar “. Entonces, poco a poco ellos fueron aprendiendo, yo aprendí y mientras lo hacíamos, estábamos jugando y creando”.

 

Si bien es difícil capacitar a nuevos empleados y enseñar a personas nuevas habilidades, superar la barrera del idioma puede requerir aún más paciencia y compasión. Para Lupe, que ahora habla español e inglés, su motivación para ayudar a los demás proviene de la compasión que experimentó como nueva empleada.

 

“Lo primero es que me pongo en el lugar de otras personas. Recuerdo que cuando llegué, ni siquiera sabía cómo decir “Gracias” o “Está bien” en inglés, y eso es lo que me motiva. Recuerdo que necesitaba una persona a mi lado que me enseñara, que me guiara. Y eso es lo que trato de hacer con las personas, ayudarles a aprender de la forma en que yo aprendí, darles esa motivación y ese empujón para demostrarles que hay alguien que está interesada en ayudarles a aprender y seguir adelante. Eso es lo que me llena”.

Preguntas y Respuestas

Escuche más de nuestra conversación con Lupe en la sección de Preguntas y Respuestas a continuación".

  • ¿Qué consejo le daría a alguien que intenta aprender un nuevo idioma en el lugar de trabajo?

    Mi consejo sería, en primer lugar, que no te rindas y que aprendas a escuchar a los que te rodean, a trabajar en equipo y a tener confianza en tu equipo de trabajo. Porque es ahí es donde aprendemos, de personas que ya tienen la experiencia que nosotros no tenemos.

  • ¿Por qué amas tu trabajo?

    Me encanta preparar comida y me encanta enseñar a la gente. Mira, le digo a la gente que ha estado aprendiendo conmigo, ¿cómo vas a la iglesia el domingo? Te pones tu mejor ropa, te maquillas, te vistes bien, te peinas para lucir bien, para que otros te vean, para sentirte feliz. Lo mismo ocurre con una ensalada, hay que ver los colores, hay que hacer que se vea bonita para que cuando la gente vea la presentación se quiera comérsela. Hay que ponerle amor. Se ríen y todo pero van aprendiendo como les digo. Si pones amor en la comida, la gente se enamorará de ella.

  • ¿Cómo te ha ayudado Aramark a crecer profesionalmente?

    Aramark me ha ayudado a crecer como empleado, como persona. La forma en que somos tratados por los gerentes, es como humanos, como un equipo, es algo en lo que creo que la empresa también los educa a ellos [a los gerentes]. Aramark los guía para que puedan tener empleados felices. Aquí trabajamos en equipo. Todos trabajamos de la mano, todos nos comunicamos y eso es lo que Aramark me ha dado: el crecimiento, tanto como personal como de empleado.

  • ¿Qué consejo le daría a alguien que esté considerando unirse a Aramark?

    Mi consejo sería que vengan con ganas de trabajar, en primer lugar. Y venir con metas, porque si tienes metas, puedes hacer más en esta empresa. Y no te desanimes, pide siempre más oportunidades, ten siempre deseos de aprender, eso es lo que yo diría. No quedarse en un solo lugar, aprender, tener esa la pasión para decir 'he aprendido todo en este puesto, quiero más; quiero más'. Porque estamos en un lugar donde eso se puede hacer, esto es lo que yo diría, mantén la mente abierta.

  • ¿Tiene buenos recuerdos de su tiempo en Aramark?

    Hay tantos. El primero que me viene a la mente es cuando era cajera, estaba muy emocionada porque dije "este es el trabajo que quiero", y luego un gerente se me acercó y me dijo: 'Oh, ya he visto que estás feliz aquí y que estás haciendo todo muy bien, pero veo que también estás buscando hacer otra cosa’. Le dije ‘¿Cómo qué?’ Ella dijo: "Dímelo tú. Veo que entras en la cocina y miras las mesas, veo esa pasión, pero no preguntas". Le dije: "¿Realmente te diste cuenta de eso?" Y estaba feliz porque había una persona que notó que yo quería hacer algo más en la cocina, que la otra posición me estaba quedando pequeña. Me sentí importante que alguien se diera cuenta de que quería algo más, otra habilidad, para aprender algo más. Eso realmente se me quedó grabado y eso es algo que nunca he olvidado.

Te pones tu mejor ropa, te maquillas, te vistes bien, te peinas para lucir bien, para que otros te vean, para sentirte feliz. Lo mismo ocurre con una ensalada, hay que ver los colores, hay que hacer que se vea bonita para que cuando la gente vea la presentación se quiera comérsela. Hay que ponerle amor. Se ríen y todo pero van aprendiendo como les digo. Si pones amor en la comida, la gente se enamorará de ella.

  • ¿Cómo te ha ayudado Aramark a crecer profesionalmente?

    Aramark me ha ayudado a crecer como empleado, como persona. La forma en que somos tratados por los gerentes, es como humanos, como un equipo, es algo en lo que creo que la empresa también los educa a ellos [a los gerentes]. Aramark los guía para que puedan tener empleados felices. Aquí trabajamos en equipo. Todos trabajamos de la mano, todos nos comunicamos y eso es lo que Aramark me ha dado: el crecimiento, tanto como personal como de empleado.

  • ¿Qué consejo le daría a alguien que esté considerando unirse a Aramark?

    Mi consejo sería que vengan con ganas de trabajar, en primer lugar. Y venir con metas, porque si tienes metas, puedes hacer más en esta empresa. Y no te desanimes, pide siempre más oportunidades, ten siempre deseos de aprender, eso es lo que yo diría. No quedarse en un solo lugar, aprender, tener esa la pasión para decir 'he aprendido todo en este puesto, quiero más; quiero más'. Porque estamos en un lugar donde eso se puede hacer, esto es lo que yo diría, mantén la mente abierta.

  • ¿Tiene buenos recuerdos de su tiempo en Aramark?

    Hay tantos. El primero que me viene a la mente es cuando era cajera, estaba muy emocionada porque dije "este es el trabajo que quiero", y luego un gerente se me acercó y me dijo: 'Oh, ya he visto que estás feliz aquí y que estás haciendo todo muy bien, pero veo que también estás buscando hacer otra cosa’. Le dije ‘¿Cómo qué?’ Ella dijo: "Dímelo tú. Veo que entras en la cocina y miras las mesas, veo esa pasión, pero no preguntas". Le dije: "¿Realmente te diste cuenta de eso?" Y estaba feliz porque había una persona que notó que yo quería hacer algo más en la cocina, que la otra posición me estaba quedando pequeña. Me sentí importante que alguien se diera cuenta de que quería algo más, otra habilidad, para aprender algo más. Eso realmente se me quedó grabado y eso es algo que nunca he olvidado.
