About
As a senior in high school with big dreams and a passion for baking. Growing up in a tight-knit family, I learned the value of hard work and kindness, which inspired me to start my own vegan dessert business to serve my local community.
I've also been lucky enough to travel to different parts of Asia and Europe, where I got to share my treats with military service members. These experiences opened my eyes to new cultures and made me appreciate the sacrifices of those who serve our country.
As I work towards my Hospitality Management degree, I plan to use what I've learned from these adventures to improve my business and give back to my community.
