Helen is an Area Coach for KFC and a phenomenal leader at Celebration Restaurant Group. She began her career as a Restaurant General manager and has taken every opportunity to further her career here at CRG. Helen and her relatives are from Costa Rica. One interesting fact Helen shared about Costa Rica, is that they are the only country that does not have an Army.
