I was raised in a home where food meant love, laughter, and connection. My grandmother, Beverly, taught me that a meal can be magic. I grew up in a home where food symbolized love, laughter, and connection. My grandmother taught me, and that magic stayed with me. Today, I’m inspired by the joy of gathering, the rhythm of cooking, and the power of food to heal and celebrate. I honor her legacy by showing others how to make their kitchens a place of warmth, creativity, and community.

Nothing compares to the soul-satisfying joy of making homemade pasta. It's a ritual—a dance of dough, sauce, and soul. My favorite is a slow-simmered lasagna layered with love, rich memories, and the bold flavors of my roots. It's a dish that turns a table into a celebration and reminds me why I fell in love with cooking in the first place.

I'd invest in a business to create immersive, in-person, and digital culinary workshops to help others feel empowered, inspired, and excited in their kitchens. I'd expand into a movement to celebrate the art of intentional cooking and joyful hosting. With better tools, space, and resources, I'd amplify my mission: helping people savor nourishing food one bite at a time while giving back to the community and teaching children how to enjoy and cook responsibly with farm-to-table food.
