I consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I grew up in a Bible church and still hold those beliefs very close to me.
I get curious about new things. My real strength is going into a field that has not been investigated before, and finding new approaches to it.
My inspiration was my mom. She's a great cook, and she still cooks, and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community, food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that.
