Who or what inspires you to cook?

Growing up in the United States Virgin Islands and being influenced by my mother’s intuitive teaching style has shaped a deep connection to my heritage and my love for cooking. I aspire to cook internationally and perfect my island-style, good old homemade Caribbean cuisines.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My island-inspired seafood dishes and gourmet international entrées perfectly blend tradition and creativity, offering a fusion that excites food lovers from all backgrounds.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would bring my passion to life with a food truck. It would be a decisive step in sharing the rich, vibrant dishes from my island and beyond with others.
