bakery assistant from New York, was on the losing team of the dreaded restaurant takeover challenge for the top 6 contestants. She then lost out in, of all things, a baking-related pressure test to make an elaborate croquembouche (no, I’d never head of them before, either.) She has since become an awareness advocate for dystonia, a condition she finally received diagnosis for after MasterChef was filmed. She started a blog in September 2014, Tiny Whisk, although it has only been sporadically updated (last entry was in November). She is more active in updating with her cooking adventures on her Facebook and Twitter accounts.
