Introducing Emily
There is only one thing Dio Old Girl, Emily Donderwinkel likes more than experiencing good food and beverages herself and that is providing that experience for others. In her newly created role as Catering Events Coordinator, Emily feels very privileged to be working with Chef Brad Bakker and the catering team to provide a stellar food and beverage service for the Dio Community, and beyond. Whether it is within internal school functions, external school facilities hire, or the Mr Goodfellow Food Truck – the team all has very high standards and are passionate about what they do.
