Meet the Sparkle Squad!

Hi I’m Giulia! I am a manager at The Friendship Factory. I have been working here since I was 14 years old, it truly is the best job ever! The Friendship Factory is such a great place and I am so happy to be a part of something so special! It is so nice to have work friends that feel like family, but it is even nicer becoming friends with the kids who come in too!  I am going to school to get a business degree and in my free time I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, and listening to music.

Hey!! I’m Cassidy and an assistant manager at the Friendship Factory. Being able to work at this magical place is an opportunity to give back to the business that gave me an amazing birthday party and memories to look back on when I was younger. I love this job because we are able to give not only the birthday guest, but also their guests, a party and day to remember. The spreading of kindness that occurs within the Friendship Factory is such a beautiful thing!
