I attribute my success to my determination and goal-oriented mindset. I thrive on challenges and consistently strive to be my best self in everything I do.

The best career advice I’ve ever received is that it’s okay to make mistakes—as long as you learn from them and keep moving forward. I’ve also learned to know my worth and strive to make a positive difference every day.

My advice to young women entering my industry is to voice your opinion—because it matters—stand tall and proud, and always give your best work.

The biggest challenge in my field right now is the financial strain on restaurants. These are difficult times—I own two restaurants with five employees, and managing expenses like rent and utilities can be overwhelming. Seasonal factors, like colder weather, also impact customer traffic, making it harder to maintain steady revenue. Over the past five years, I’ve invested in a variety of marketing strategies, including a radio program, blogging, and sharing content on LinkedIn, but the return on these investments has been limited. Like many in the industry, we’re relying on people coming out to dine, which has become increasingly challenging. This is a struggle that affects restaurants across the country, as many are seeking ways to navigate these tough economic conditions.

My faith is central to everything I do. As a Christian, I pray regularly and believe that God knows our hearts and equips us to handle the challenges we face. My passion for food drives me to continuously educate myself so I can share knowledge that benefits others. I write about food on LinkedIn to help people make informed choices that improve their health. Beyond financial survival, my focus is on empowering people to take control of their well-being—for example, helping them understand that conditions like diabetes can be managed and, in some cases, reversed through lifestyle and nutrition. For me, work isn’t just about cooking; it’s about educating and inspiring others to live healthier lives.
