Picky bars engaged Anabelle when our co-manufacture wanted to push us on our food safety specs. The safety of our customers has always come first, and Anabelle helped us with the science behind food safety and where our risks were greatest. As we continued to work with her, she helped time and again with peace of mind that we were doing the right thing. And, as an operations person, my favorite thing about Anabelle is that she understands the business side as well – rigidity in process when needed, and flexibility when possible.

I had the pleasure to meet and work with Anabelle for almost 3 years. She was instrumental for our Teams at Panera, as she was the Principal Subject Matter Expert from the TAG group, who supported us by executing comprehensive and detailed Food Safety assessments and risk analysis. She was always available and eager to meet with me when I needed to. Always kind and patient. Anabelle’s vast experience and knowledge was not only her only contribution to me. Anabelle has been my mentor and a true example of how far a Latino Woman can grow and to achieve great things. Accomplishment is driven by Determination, focus and consistency. Anabelle is living proof of this. I am truly honored to have crossed paths with Anabelle. I value her friendship and mentorship at every step in my career and personal life.

Anabelle also has been my personal inspiration to be healthy and to live a healthy lifestyle.
