Who or what inspires you to cook?

From a young age, my grandmother’s cooking lit the spark in me—she’s now nearly 90 and still one of my greatest inspirations.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I’m obsessed with tacos—their versatility makes every creation feel like magic. It’s amazing how simple ingredients can transform into bold, unforgettable flavors. Every time I make them, it’s a whole new experience!

What would you do with the $25,000?

This industry has given me so much, and I believe in paying it forward. If I win the $25,000, a portion will go to No Kid Hungry—an incredible organization working to end childhood hunger. Every kid deserves a full plate and a fair shot.
