COMPETITION: World Vegetarian Championship
I have been working in the industry for over 20 years with Marriott International. I have worked across the DFW market in many hotels, from being part of the opening team at the Plano Renaissance to working side by side with renowned Chef Deam Max at the Renaissance Dallas. I like to collect kitchen aprons. Passion for cooking came from my Mom, she could always create a full meal with only a handful of ingredients, this amazes me to this day.
