Our Team
Colleen Wade, Director of Catering
Colleen grew up in a suburb of Kalamazoo, Michigan. After high school she moved to East Lansing, Michigan where she followed in her siblings footsteps and attended Michigan State University. While there, she completed internships throughout the United States and spent time studying abroad in Europe to earn her Hospitality Business degree.
Colleen began her career working in healthcare in Kalamazoo. While there she served as a member of the hospital’s Diversity Committee making several changes to make the hospital a more welcoming place for all patients, employees and guests. In 2007, Colleen moved out to Chicago and became a part of the nuCuisine Catering team acting as the Catering Sales Manager. She has enjoyed working with such a diverse, supportive and dedicated group. Colleen's current role is the Director of Catering, where she enjoys establishing and building relationships with so many across the campus; something she hopes to continue for many years to come.
Kamber Hadzic, Catering Operations Supervisor
Kamber Hadzic has come a long way since being a food service employee in Sargent dining hall located on the north end of the Northwestern campus. A native of Bosnia, Kamber arrived in Chicago in August 1993 as a refugee of the war in the Balkans. Within one month of arrival, Kamber, who spoke no English at the time, was able to secure the food service position. After several years on campus Kamber became a member of the nuCuisine Catering staff. He has remained dedicated to nuCuisine Catering for 15 years, and is known throughout the university campus for his excellent customer service. The customer is always #1 with Kamber, which he demonstrates through his attitude, his attention to detail, his patience, and his willingness to invest countless hours to “get the job done right”. The aspect of catering that gives Kamber the most satisfaction is the opportunity to express his artistic flair through creative food display and presentation. This combination of hard work, creativity and sensitivity to the needs of the customer, makes Kamber Hadzic a valued member of nuCuisine Catering.
