Amazing Capabilities
My passion is helping others. The people who may not be able to help themselves, being there by their loved one's side the whole way through. Being able to watch my loved ones grow and excel is what I live to see. I am happy to be the person that is there and can empathize while keeping a positive note for others. I work with children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. I want to be someone who others can come to, and trust that I truly care for them, and their well-being. It is a hard job that many people do not understand. It comes with a hardness that cannot be taken for granted, and a sense of peace so fulfilling that it can bring tears to your eyes. I call it the bittersweet madness.

Pride-Full Bagels
A burst of color unexpected, I got this idea from the Great British Baking Show! In California, I worked for a company that specialized in care for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. The client that I worked with loved to bake, I would supervise my client while they baked. Occasionally, we would play bake with a Play-Doh baking set. I wanted to connect more with my client, I know that I loved to bake as well and thought, hmm? What can we do together that would be exciting? One day while we were watching TV, I turned on Netflix and put on the Great British Baking Show. We saw the most amazing, creative, and simple dish. It was a rainbow bagel! Both captivated by the art, I made a promise to recreate this dish and share my results! This was around Halloween, and I lived in a student artist housing facility. My house had 24 members at the time. I love to cook, and almost every holiday, I would host a party with one other roommate of mine. She and I would make a stunning menu for our house members, and Halloween would be our biggest yet. It would require a lot of work, considering the tediousness of making a rainbow bagel and the amount needed to supply a party. I had waited for what seemed like forever to create this astonishing creation. Here's the twist, a number of my housemates just happened to be vegan. Uh oh! I looked up vegan bagel recipes and you know, bagels aren't bagels without the cream cheese. A majority of the menu wasn't vegan and I wanted to incorporate some items that way everyone could participate. This would be a challenge, but I was up for it. When I was finished, it was worth all of the craziness!
