Tina was the best Mom any child could ask for. She welcomed everyone with open arms and became “mom” to so many, even at work. For 20 years she enjoyed working at the Springfield MA Marriott in various culinary positions before taking her skills to the MGM Springfield. She worked as a Banquet Master Cook at MGM Springfield and was recently promoted to her dream job as a Sous Chef.
