What is your signature dish?

My favorite signature dish is my stir fried cabbage and sautéed spinach if I’m going veggie. However my other signature dish is jerk chicken Phillys.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration is chef Gordon ramsay because he is a very known chef but has culinary reality shows and with my media degree I plan on becoming a female Gordon Ramsay bringing new culinary shows to the world.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With 25,000 I will get myself a food truck for my vegetarian jerk soulfood business .
