When I was younger, I got interviewed by the local college newspaper in my hometown. One of the last things I remember saying was "I'm only 17 and I'm already doing what I'm going to do for the rest of my life, how cool is that?" 

​

I'd been infatuated with baking for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by women who all loved baking-- my nanny, grandmother, and mother.  I can still recall the vivid memories of watching my nanny decorating beautiful wedding cakes, the smell of my grandmother's chocolate-flan coming out of the oven, or being on my tippy toes trying to reach the table while my mom rolled out empanada dough. 

​

By the age of 13, I discovered how to use "fondant" and started making amateur cakes for my family members and close friends. Although I was self-taught and had never watched training videos or Cake Boss on tv, I realized I had a knack for it and started selling cakes at the age of 14.

By 16, I landed my first job as a cake decorator at a local bakery, and by 17 I was known all around school as the cake girl!

​

I never actually knew this was going to be my destiny, I just knew I loved it. After I graduated in 2014, I packed my bags and left to Austin, TX to go to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School to become a pastry chef. Throughout the 7 years living there; I worked in several hotels, restaurants, bakeries-- learning and perfecting my craft. I fell in love with restaurants and the hospitality industry, and grew to discover my new passion: becoming an entrepreneur.
