She plans to open a restaurant that celebrates diverse cultural foods, showcasing dishes from various traditions. A skilled welder and chef, Paola values creativity and strives to learn and grow. Known for her honesty and strong work ethic, she is dedicated to making a positive impact and celebrating diversity.

Paola has been through so much after leaving foster care and continues to face so many challenges in finding her stability. She's navigated battles internally and externally since aging out of foster care. Now, as a mother, she is actively working on improving herself and her family. She has found peace and grounding in cooking wonderful meals for her family. She would like a cast-iron pot to help her create new meals and spend more time in the kitchen with her whole family.
