Vivian's journey with Arena began in 2001, and over the years, we've had the privilege of watching her grow, take on new challenges, and become one of the leaders our team counts on every day.

From her early days with Arena to her current role as Executive Chef and Operations Manager, Vivian has brought dedication, culinary talent, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

We're grateful for the many years we've worked together, the experiences we've shared, and everything Vivian continues to bring to Team Arena.

Congratulations on 25 years, Vivian!
