KEBRON SIRAK<br />

Meet our #SocialStar, Kebron Sirak! Kebron is originally from Ethiopia but he has<br />

now lived here for 15 years! Known to have an exceptional palate, he loves his<br />

work on campus cooking for our students! A fun fact about Kebron is he speaks 5<br />

languages! He is quite the prankster and loves having fun in the kitchen with his<br />

co-workers. If you see a cook with a plastic tail on the back of their uniform, he’s<br />

probably the culprit. While having fun, his dedication to safety and providing<br />

healthy meals for our students truly shines through!<br />
