What is your signature dish?

My passion is Hispanic cuisine, though I enjoy cooking foods from all cultures with skill, patience, and care. I specialize in seafood and enjoy creating unique recipes and flavorful variations of side dishes. I have a passion for all food including American, Asian, Italian, the list goes on!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I idolize Chefs like Alain Ducasse, Alice Waters, and of course, Carla Hall! My culinary career began in hospitals throughout the Tampa Bay area before moving into small family-owned restaurants, where I learned the art of true scratch cooking. After developing my skills, I transitioned into corporate dining. I currently work in a friary serving retired priests. My passion for cooking continues to grow, and I take great pride in both my career and the people I have the privilege to serve.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have recently accumulated debt while covering necessary dental and medical expenses for my children. I would use the funds to help pay off that debt and continue providing the essential dental and medical care my children urgently need.
