"Having come from a mostly male-dominated industry, I've experienced first-hand how important it is for women to push to have a voice in making change. There are so many incredible women within the food industry - but unfortunately - there's still not enough representation. Genuinely the most exciting thing that has come out of TikTok for me, is having the younger generation, including many young women, reach out to ask how to get into the industry and also telling me how they're inspired from my content. It blows my mind to think people might actually look up to me, but it inspires me to keep pushing to be a female with a voice in the industry!"
