I was born to do this. Ever since I was a little girl I loved getting new recipes and trying out secret ingredients to make it my own!

Who or what inspires you to cook?

Family and friends for sure inspire me. I love to host gatherings where people can come together at the same table and enjoy food and wine and each other. Nothing makes me happier.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Turkey Lasagna

What would you do with the $25,000?

Open a non- profit that would benefit the unhoused and underserved people in the community. I want to employ people who need a second chance and feed people real meals based on what they can afford. Everybody deserves to feel special and seen.
