Katie Zyla

Katie grew up in New Hampshire with her mom and sister. She comes from a long line of women who love to cook and bake. Her passion for the holiday season is inspired by the memories of gatherings in the kitchen at her great-grandparent’s house cooking and baking with her family. Katie’s love for the feeling of togetherness while cooking has brought her to the hospitality industry. Her start in the hospitality industry began when she was 14, spending her summer vacations in Delaware with her grandmother, working at The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. From there, Katie has worked in multiple restaurants in both the kitchen and “front of house”.

A large part of Katie’s hospitality history lies with Legal Sea Foods, where she spent 6 years working on her career. In April 2018, Katie joined Good N U Hospitality, looking to spread her knowledge of food, beverage, and genuine hospitality. Starting as a General Manager for The Biltmore, Katie later moved on to open the newest Good NU location, The Villa. Almost 6 years later, Katie is now the Director of Human Resources & Operations looking to help Good NU Hospitality push the boundaries and limitations associated with the hospitality industry. Excited for her journey, her goal is to support the community and offer exceptional cuisine and cocktails to our neighbors from next door to around the world. Treating every guest who walks through our door like family.

Katie lives in Andover, MA with her husband Matt, and her son Owen as well as their corgi, Sully.
