I’m someone who finds true joy in the kitchen. While my professional path is in finance, my heart has always belonged to the culinary world. I come from a family that loves to entertain and bring people together over food, so the kitchen naturally became my happy place.

The first “dish” I ever made was the Indian chai for my dad when I was 10 years old. He offered no instructions, just told me to figure it out myself. The chai was a disaster but that simple moment sparked something deeper, a love for experimenting, creating, and expressing myself through food.
