Baking started as a small hobby for me right at the beginning of Covid. I had just recently moved to the U.S. when the pandemic struck, so baking became a way to bring myself and the other people around me joy. 

As someone who wants to work in the medical field in the future, I have realized just how important it is to give back to others. I started volunteering at hospitals, doing patient interaction through Cancer Kids First, and interning at a Surgery Center. These experiences have shaped my values and have made me someone who highly values giving back to their community. 

The kids I have met through my time volunteering and visiting rural schools over my summers in India have shown me how much I take for granted. I have a lot to be grateful for and would love for my baking to support others and provide hope and compassion.  I would be incredibly grateful if you would choose to come along on this journey with me.
