The Egg Lady

After working as a chef in NYC, Yvonne moved to Alfred Station and took various cooking positions at local restaurants. Eager to put down deeper roots in the Alfred community, she accepted a position with the AVI Food team, and launched a wonderfully rewarding career in food service at AU.

In addition to serving as The Egg Lady and check-in desk hostess at Ade, Yvonne has also worked in food service at Powell Campus Center and has assisted in numerous catering events over the years. She even hosted a campus radio show on the University radio station, WALF, featuring eclectic music from around the world. She often featured guests on the program, and whenever she hosted contests, she was certain to give away homemade cookies as prizes. Yvonne also enjoys socializing with students outside of Ade and ventures down to the Terra Cotta for coffee and good conversations every now and then.

When Yvonne isn't with students, she enjoys spending time at home with her many cats and admittedly enjoys spoiling the dickens out of them. She also tends to her flower and vegetable gardens and knits. She sometimes brings her knitted creations with her to work, surprising someone in the AU with a very heartfelt gift.

Yvonne is one of the many wonderful people who make Alfred so Alfred.
