Wilmer Ulloa
Chef Manager
Mt. Rubidoux Manor
Wilmer Ulloa has been an employee at Mount Rubidoux Manor for the past seven years. He is a conscientious and dedicated team member. Not only is he a good cook and supervisor of eight staff members.
He has compassion for the residents. He greets new residents to ascertain if they have any specific dietary needs, and he advises them in the selection of food on a daily basis. He listens to the food committee as they make suggestions and makes changes in menu offerings as appropriate. In addition, he volunteers his time on weekends for their special events.
He lets the residents know that they are important, and they respect him in return.
Wilmer is a very good coach and mentor for his staff, who are primarily students in high school or college. Oftentimes the students that come under his supervision are experiencing “work” for the first time, and they learn much from Wilmer about job responsibility and good work ethics. One of his protégés went on to become a cook for San Bernadino County and is now a supervisor and caterer for the county sheriff’s department.
