She aspired to move to the Appalachian Mountains and pursued a Psychology Degree from Western Carolina University. There, she graduated with Honors and worked her way through college starting with the Ruth’s Chris in Biltmore Village in 2018. Jessica worked her way up the ladder, starting as a Server Assistant. She continually proved to be an effective leader and progressively became the Bartender Coach in one of the best & busiest bars in Asheville. She loved her position and got to know our beloved guests on a more personal level. Her passion for people, execution, and teamwork quickly translated to her to be a highly qualified candidate to join the Ruth’s Chris Management team so that she could offer amply more in guest services and to the needs of the company. We invite you to engage with Ms. Koszola and have your next event with us here at Ruth’s Chris Asheville.
