Hi, Eat’n Park family! As the newest Team Smiley interns, we're excited to introduce ourselves for the summer! We will be traveling across the Greater Pittsburgh area for a number of community events, including festivals, sporting events, and more! Our events feature awesome activities like Smiley appearances, Smiley Cookie decorating, and games. 

To stay up to date with Team Smiley and our journey, feel free to follow us on our team Instagram, @enpteamsmiley or check the Find Smiley site

We can’t wait to meet all of Smiley’s fans in the next few months! We are looking forward to creating memories that will last forever. Hope to see you all soon!

Now let’s get to know the team:

Meet Grace: Hello, everyone! My name is Grace, and I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I just completed my senior year at Robert Morris University, where I will stay for a 5th year to finish the accelerated MBA program. I am dual majoring in Business Management and Marketing with a certificate in Operations Management. I am also working towards my MBA with a certificate in Business Analytics. 

Eat‘n Park is one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh! In addition to Team Smiley, I work as a server in the restaurants and am the Marketing Coordinator for RMU Dining Services. My favorite meal is the Italiano Grilled Cheese on a gluten-free bun, with an unsweetened iced tea and a side of cottage cheese and chili. Fun fact: Eat’n Park ranch is the only ranch I will eat. 

At RMU, I was a member of the sideline and competitive cheer teams, served as President of Delta Zeta Sorority, served on the executive board for the Women’s Leadership and Mentorship Program, and am a member of Pi Sigma Epsilon Business Fraternity. In my free time, I love spending time with friends and family, crafting, going to new coffee shops, and reading. I am so excited for this opportunity and can’t wait to see what this summer holds!

Meet Lydia: Hello, everyone! My name is Lydia! I am from Canonsburg, which is south of Pittsburgh. I am a rising junior studying Marketing at the University of Pittsburgh College of Business Administration. At school, I am involved in the American Marketing Association, the Ballroom Dance Club at Pitt, and my sorority Kappa Delta. In my free time, you can find me dancing or spending time with my friends and family. For as long as I can remember, Eat'n Park has been my family's restaurant of choice. My favorite meal would have to be the Superburger with a Bananas Foster Milkshake. I have so many happy memories associated with Eat’n Park and look forward to spreading smiles all over the region with Team Smiley!

Meet Dani: Hey, everyone! My name is Dani, and I am from Canonsburg, PA, which is about 30 minutes south of Pittsburgh. This fall, I will be a sophomore at Penn State University Park majoring in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in Digital Media Trends and Analytics. At school I am involved in various different clubs including Club Cross Country, the Public Relations Student Society of America, and the Association of Women in Sports Media. When I’m not hanging out with Smiley and the team, I enjoy going on long runs through our beautiful city, attending concerts with my family and friends, and carefully planning my life through Pinterest boards! My favorite meal at Eat’n Park is hands down the Bananas Foster French Toast with a Cookies and Cream Milkshake (very healthy, I know!). This summer I am so excited to join Team Smiley and become a part of a restaurant family that’s so beloved by the City of Pittsburgh!

Meet Alaina:
Hello, Smiley enthusiasts! My name is Alaina, and I’m from North Huntingdon, PA, which is east of Pittsburgh. I’m a senior at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania majoring in Communication with a concentration in Integrated Marketing. By the end of this summer, I’ll have graduated and will be entering the workforce. My focuses in my major are Digital Marketing, Social Media Management, and Public Relations.

In my free time, I love being with friends and family, trying new restaurants, and focusing on professional development. When I’m not with Team Smiley, you can usually find me at a concert or any new restaurants in the 412 area.

My favorite thing to order at Eat’n Park are the Buttermilk Pancakes with extra syrup! It doesn’t matter what time of day it is, I’m getting those pancakes with fresh-cut fruit on the side. As a recovering picky eater, I’m looking forward to trying the variety of amazing dishes the Eat’n Park menu has to offer!

My friends and family are my whole world! My favorite Eat’n Park meal is either Buttermilk Pancakes or Chicken Noodle Soup, but I miss the Sticky Buns! I am excited to gain amazing experience and forever friendships from Team Smiley!
