What a wild ride that was! This incredible journey has come to an end and I want to thank you all so much for the show of love and support over the course of the last 9 weeks while I pushed myself through some rough challenges throughout the course of the competition. What I've learned is that this is just the beginning for me and I'm excited to share with you what's next to come.
All your kind words of encouragement help provide me with the strength I need to continue on my… path of discovering who I am as a chef.  You don't know how fortunate and blessed I feel to have had the opportunity to compete on Top Chef and to join such a talented group of chefs who I now call family! I now have a much larger support system all across the country and cherish the memories and experiences that we all shared throughout this period and so looking forward to many more to come. Each and everyone of them continue to teach me so much and I'm truly in awe and inspired following along in their journeys.
