We are excited to have Meredith Doll on our CBO Panel! Meredith Doll is an Area Director for Shake Shack in New York City.  She started out as a $9/hr Line Cook at the Madison Square Park location in 2010.  Doll's passion for internal promotions and the Shack culture have been key to her own professional growth.  She created an internal Shack basketball league and monthly PB and J Shack Gives Back event for City Harvest in NYC.  After reading Danny Meyer's Setting the Table, Doll left social work to pursue a Culinary degree from the Institute of Culinary Education.  She currently mentors 3 Rising Stars at Shake Shack and is a member of the All-in Committee that focuses on Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives.
