It’s a weeknight during UNH’s winter break, and the new Saxbys café is closed for business, but one light is still on. Trisha Crowe ’17, café executive officer (CEO) of the Durham location, sits in the empty café with her laptop, crunching numbers.
The spot she’s camped out in, a table tucked into the café’s front corner, has significance for her—it’s the spot where she and her Saxbys company mentor, fellow café executive officer Lizzy Marcotte, would gather to train Trisha for her current role in the weeks before the café opened.
Although she is only twenty-two years old and just completed her undergraduate degree last May, in this position Crowe is responsible for everything related to the Durham café, including operations, payroll, marketing, revenue, even the location’s charitable partners.
