Tiffany found herself homeless and relied on staying at various shelters in Milwaukee with her two young children. One afternoon, Tiffany was with a friend, got caught in the middle of a violent situation and ended up being a party to a crime. With an open case against her, Tiffany was asked to leave the shelter with her two young children. While living at a new shelter in Waukesha, Tiffany learned about Goodwill’s Workforce Connection Center and knew it was time for a change.

Tiffany applied for and participated in Goodwill’s Culinary Training Program at Goodwill’s Café 1919. The Culinary Institute is a comprehensive, hands-on program providing individuals with practical real-world training in the foodservice industry. While in training, Tiffany gained valuable work experience, as well as her ServSafe Certification. Soon after, Tiffany was hired in the kitchen at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, one of the largest entertainment destinations in the Midwest.
