Deli Helper Clerk, Burien PCC

Thuy started at PCC when the Burien store opened. She heard that PCC was a great place to work and wanted to be in an environment where she could learn to cook and practice her English. Thuy is always willing to help customers as she is setting up the deli counter in the morning and making the food look delicious. She hopes to become a deli cook someday.

In her spare time, Thuy enjoys spending time with her husband and one-year old son, as well as cooking traditional Vietnamese, Chinese and American foods for her family. She says she makes the best Italian meatballs and spaghetti!
