Employee Spotlight

Meet Stephanie Hernandez

“Lots of energy, a positive attitude and a smile for every customer”, this is how senior staff describe Stephanie Hernadez, Neiman’s Family Market St. Clair Assistant Produce Manager. Stephanie describes herself as “loud, funny and chatty”, no matter the adjectives used, she is a positive asset to our team in St. Clair and has been since she was hired in January 2020.

Stephanie’s proudest moment at Neiman’s was when she was promoted to the position of Assistant Produce Manager, although she says her “real” job is to make people laugh. The people, her coworkers, and senior staff are the best part of the job for her. Growing up in Puerto Rico, Stephanie wanted to be a lawyer because those around her said she had an answer for everything. Growing up she was known as “Steph”.

It is ironic, given her job, that her least favorite food is a vegetable- broccoli. Recently, thanks to Myles, Assistant Store Director, she discovered radishes and enjoys them very much. The weirdest thing Steph has ever eaten is a banana and mayo together, if you want the recipe ask Steph when you see her!

Anyone beside Steph have a Crusted Gecko as a pet? These lizards come from Australia where Steph would love to go but her true dream vacation is Thailand so she can see and take care of the elephants and be a “hippy elephant girl”.  The best place Steph has traveled to is Long Beach, California because she loved the beach!

Does it surprise you to know that Steph is “Swiftie”? Yep, she is a fan of Taylor Swift and also a fan of Michigan State. Spiders, however, are her greatest fear!  The first two things Stephanie would buy if she won the lottery are a house and a better car.  Steph’s favorite movie is Moana and her favorite book is something about calming down but the title didn’t pass the censors for this write up- lol.

If you want to treat Stephanie get her the one thing she can’t live without-coffee! She takes it with cream and lots of sugar and has been known to have 5 shots of espresso.

Thank you Stephanie for all your effort and work at Neiman’s Family Market! We appreciate you and all your co-workers!

Please take a minute and say HI to Stephanie when you are in St. Clair at the produce department.
