Meet a Adriel Cueva, our Director of Talent Acquisition, who proudly embraces his Cuban American heritage! ✨ Culture and connection at work: "When I joined Woodcraft Rangers, it was instantly comforting to see our culture reflected so prominently across our incredible teams. Hearing my name pronounced in Spanish – something only my family does - was so welcoming and, in many ways, significant." ✨ Favorite childhood memory: "My favorite childhood memory is watching my grandma cook traditional dishes like ropa vieja or arroz con pollo, with the smells filling the air while Celia Cruz played on the radio. So, growing up, our family meals were full of laughter and love, and I’m grateful to continue these traditions with authentic Cuban recipes from my grandma's cookbook." Join us in celebrating Adriel and the beautiful cultural traditions he carries with him every day! 🧡 #HispanicHeritageMonth #HonorHeritage #CelebrateDiversity #Cultura #CubanAmerican #Cuban
