A recent transplant to Seattle in 2016, Diana was looking for a job when her boyfriend showed up with a loaf of his new favorite bread\u2014the Greek Olive Loaf.

Out of college, she had considered a career as a teacher, but student teaching had talked her out of that. Her job requirements were only that she didn\u2019t want to be cooped up in an office. \u201cI\u2019m an extrovert,\u201d Diana says. \u201cBeing around people gives me energy.

Seeing familiar faces in line is definitely a great part of the job.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">When the General Manager position opened up in June 2019 it was clear Diana had earned the nod. \u201cI was honored to be offered the job,\u201d Diana says. \u201cI worked my way up and feel like they saw something in me. Scott and Leslie are at the Aloha caf\u00e9 frequently and both are very open and supportive.
