Deckplate Leader of the Week: Chief Petty Officer Amy Berghel

By From Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard’s Facebook page

Our Deckplate Leader of the Week is Chief Petty Officer April Berghel, a culinary specialist currently serving as the Food Service Officer at U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound.

Her creativity and dedication has been on high display during the global pandemic! She has been able to keep the galley running by instituting additional sanitation efforts, enforcing physical spacing requirements, opening up an outdoor eating area, and keeping the menu ideas fresh with input from the crew. She is truly dedicated to her craft and genuinely cares about the crew. 

Thank you for keeping your crew well fed, Chief!
