So many thought my dream would never come true!
A 5 year old, obsessed with baking, and wanting to be on
Food Network’s Kid’s Baking Championship… really?

Of all the talented young bakers in the country that apply every year,
they only pick 12 every season.
Yes - 12!
Aside from just watching the seasons over and over, I’d actually bake alongside them.
I’d bring up the episode on my dad’s laptop and bake my version of their challenge.
My home kitchen was put to very good use, and there was a lot of cleaning to do,
but I just knew I’d be running around that amazing kitchen someday.
And it finally happened!

Season 11 “Biz Kids” couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for me.
Seeing Duff and Val, making the most amazing new friends, and showcasing my small business for the world to see…
and being the first Chaldean girl on the show too… it’s a dream come true!

I have a huge passion for baking and worked really hard to get to where I am today. And there’s still a lot of growing and learning, but I can’t wait to see it unfold!

Below you’ll see some of my favorite memories from
