Brandy loves to explore food from different cultures and continue learning the latest new trends in the culinary world by attending tradeshows. Brandy is always up for food conversations, teaching someone how to cook or bake, and share her food passion with others. In later years Brandy taught herself cake decorating taking her baking skills up to the next level and expresses her artistic side in all of her custom cakes. She also holds a certificate from the American Culinary Federation for completing 'Working Pastry Chef' in 2021. Chef Brandy wants to inspire others like herself to break the barriers for Deaf and HOH people and bring awareness to her community.
