Anika Russel
Watching you grow from that super young, nervous kid who first walked through our doors into the dedicated professional you are today has been an absolute joy for all of us at Gramado’s.
The hard work, positive energy and heart you brought to the team every day made a real difference, and you will truly be missed.
As you take this exciting next step to move to Australia and begin your chef apprenticeship, we want you to carry forward the incredible virtues you've built during your time in hospitality with Gramado's Family:
Resilience: The endurance to handle the high-pressure moments and demanding nature of the kitchen with a calm, composed mindset.
Self-Discipline: The commitment to strict schedules, meticulous attention to detail, and maintaining the highest standards in everything you do.
Wisdom: The practical knowledge and problem-solving skills gained from every customer interaction and unexpected challenge.
Patience: The empathy and understanding developed by working with diverse people, shaping a grounded approach to life.
Humility: The appreciation for hard work and deep respect for every single role within a team, knowing where you started and how far you've come.
Courage: The bravery to step out of your comfort zone, try new tasks, and take on new responsibilities head-on.
Temperance: The self-control to stay steady, positive and professional even during the busiest and most stressful services.
You will always be our "fanta.stic kid." We know you are going to do brilliant things in Australia and we couldn't be prouder.
Wishing you the absolute best on this next big adventure!
Saulo Camillo Nunes and the entire Gramado's Team
