"I initially started cooking because I have a burning passion for cooking due to the course that I do. A few weeks back, I faced some challenges with NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) so I started cooking and selling food as a source of income. I started the business with the help of the money I got from my parents and some of my friends, who gave me the ingredients to start. Selling has been challenging, but I wake up with the mindset that I can do anything I put my mind to, and nothing comes easy in life. It's been a tough journey but with the support from my family, friends and resident mates, my journey is getting slightly better," she said.
