Miia Hebert
Garcia’s Kitchen – Albuquerque
Like many of us, this year’s winner has been in the industry for years. She began her restaurant career in college as a busser at an oyster bar in Abbeville, Louisiana. Lucky for us, she eventually landed in New Mexico, working first as an Assistant Catering Manager, and then working her way up to be an integral part of Garcia’s Kitchen. She now provides expertise on all of the aspects of the restaurant’s operations, and through the years she has helped to grow sales and manage a team that she feels is the best of the best. Her personal accomplishments include volunteer fundraising for the Best Buddies Organization. With her involvement, their 2018 Grand Champion Campaign raised over $8,000 for Best Buddies. She really appreciates the unique and diverse culture of the restaurant industry and considers it her “home away from home”. One of her supporters calls her the “Oz behind the curtain” and a “hospitality guru”. Miia herself says it best: “The restaurant industry is a unique and diverse culture. We have even developed our own language. Being a member of this industry has always meant a home away from home to me.” NMRA is proud to honor our 2020 Manager of the year, Miia Hebert of Garcia’s Kitchen.
