MEET OUR TEAM
Safia "The Kernel Queen" Westfield
Founder & CEO
After my previous employer closed during the pandemic, I started Popcorn Mania Maryland in 2021. Following a painful injury after the birth of my son Ethan, I needed a way to keep earning, and that's when Popcorn Mania was born. Since then, the business has grown in the DC area. Our goal is to become a nationwide brand for popcorn and cookies while providing job opportunities, especially for veterans and people with disabilities. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, doing DIY projects, and traveling.
Emily "The Flavor Master" Rodriguez
Marketing & Social Media Guru
Emily's creativity knows no bounds, and she brings her flair for design and storytelling to all of Popcorn Mania’s marketing efforts. Whether it's crafting the perfect Instagram post or designing eye-catching packaging, she’s always thinking outside the box (pun intended). Outside of work, Emily enjoys photography, road trips, and experimenting with her own unique popcorn flavor combinations.
Lily "Sweet Tooth" Green
Catering Manager
Lily is the friendly voice behind every customer inquiry. With a knack for solving problems and a warm, welcoming attitude, she ensures every customer feels valued. When she’s not answering emails or processing orders, Lily is probably binge-watching true crime documentaries or baking cookies (surprise, surprise).
