Meeting the incredible at the Women’s Leadership Breakfast event last fall was such a highlight for me, she is a local DC culinary legend and absolutely hysterically funny!

Now, I have the incredible honor of running to be America’s Favorite Chef 2026. This competition is close to my heart not just for the dream, but for the incredible cause behind it: every vote helps support the James Beard Foundation, which champions inclusivity, sustainability, and equity in the culinary world.

I would be so incredibly grateful for your support! You can cast your vote at the link below. Let’s do this! 👩‍🍳👇

136 days ago, I boarded a flight to LA and stepped right into the journey of a lifetime.

After spending years in the shadows of some incredibly intense, “no-thank-you” day jobs, I decided it was time to take a true leap of faith. I accepted an offer from the to be 1 of 100 cooks on their brand-new show, !

When first called me with the news, I literally laughed out loud because it felt so surreal. But it was entirely real. Now, here I am, Cook #38 living proof that it’s never too late to try something completely out of your comfort zone.

I met the most amazing people (stay tuned for more pictures in the coming days), stayed entirely true to myself, and had the absolute time of my life. 🥂

You only get one life; go out there and do it all!!
