Monica Alvarado was in the technology sector for years beginning with her Air Force career. She attended a V-Wise conference at IVMF and then took a break from tech and rediscovered her love of cooking. Alvarado then opened Bread and Butter Kitchen, a breakfast café, in Annapolis, Maryland, but eventually came back to IVMF for seconds.
“About a year and a half ago I was at that point with the restaurant where I could figure things out, I knew how to manage my recipes and my staff, but I knew that if I wanted to grow I needed to extend my knowledge. That’s why I returned to IVMF,” Alvarado said.
