A huge thank you to the hotels and restaurant owners who have trusted me with your culinary vision. Your belief in my skills inspires me every day!
Congratulations to the December 2025 ServSafe class on passing your exams and receiving your certifications! π Your hard work and dedication are commendable, and Iβm proud to have been a part of your journey.
And to the incredible non-profit youth programs that have welcomed me to work with and mentor your students, my heart is full! π Thank you for allowing me to share my passion and knowledge with the next generation.
Lastly, I must shout out my family and friends who stood by me through my tears of homesickness and the challenges of hotel living. You guys are the real VIPs! π Your unwavering support keeps me grounded while Iβm out here globetrotting, and that means the world to me.
Hereβs to a bright New Year filled with new opportunities, growth, and continued collaboration. Cheers to all that weβve accomplished together and to the adventures that await in 2025! π₯π
