What is your signature dish?

My signature dish is Mexican food but I don’t have a signature because all my food is beyond exotic flavors

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration would be my family , like my aunties and cousins they bring that authentic taste and dishes to the table but with that being said food network chefs they’re the reason why I love cooking. I love competing with my own self and challenging my limits.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would most definitely invest in myself like I have been wanting to. Most definitely open up my food business and go bigger. I would want the world to try my cooking skills. It’ll be a blessing being able to make my dreams into reality I been in the game for 4 years and next year will be my 5th year doing caterings , food pop ups
