I never thought I’d ever be writing this … a winning speech.
When I was 13 years old, I told my mum that one day I would be on MasterChef australia. 17 years later; I stand here, achieving my life long goal, and finally writing the last chapter to my fairytale ending.

Thank you for allowing me to share my food, my soul and my passion. A special extra mention to Andy; thank you for allowing me to bring you food that has been inspired by our late friend Jock. To share this with you has been so truly special.
To every crew member; you make this show and you made this dream a reality. I cannot thank these incredible humans enough for being part of something so special, multiple times over. You know who you are.
