Most of Langfelder’s career experience has been in hospitality management and wholesale food sales. Not-to-mention customer development and care. She enjoys taking care of high-profile customers with the most challenging demands. Her success was measured by the number of repeat customers and the longstanding partnerships that she developed. There is no challenge that she was unable to achieve. She is motivated by learning more about each of her customers’ needs and formulating a plan of action to accomplish the goals they set together.

Langfelder has lived most of her life in Sandy Springs where she raised her two children and is a member of Temple Sinai. She watched the growth of this Atlanta suburb become the dynamic city that it is now. She is a regular visitor of the Sandy Springs Farmers Market, which her late husband, Jeff Langfelder co-founded in 2010. Her family continues to stay involved in Jewish Atlanta’s philanthropic causes. February is her favorite month as she attends as many of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival films as possible.

For fun, she enjoys cooking, especially Italian food. Making homemade pasta, where regional Italian dishes have become a specialty. Food and wine tours are on always her schedule. Langfelder’s most recent position with Farmers and Fishermen Purveyors further developed her customer service and sales skills which she will bring with her to the Atlanta Jewish Times team.

“I’m excited to join this vibrant team at the AJT.”
