Why did you get into the salsa business?
I created a recipe for salsa merely from a need. I clearly remember the day I created my recipe in April of 2011 it was a sunny Sunday afternoon. I went to the cupboard I saw chips but no salsa. I had other bills to pay, so I decided to create my own. I loooove cooking and rarely use a recipe and if I do I usually give it my own twist. I never write down a recipe I create, but this day was different I wrote every little detail. Friends and family loved it!
How long has Muchacha been around?
I officially launched Muchacha Salsa at a demo June 15th 2013
How has breast cancer affected your life and/or how did you learn about The Lynn Sage Foundation?
I have been so fortunate not to have any breast cancer in my family but know of someone that has. As I was creating my brand and especially because Muchacha means girl I knew that somehow someday I wanted to help and give back to someone. Before I officially launched my salsa, I saw an ad for The Lynn Sage Foundation in a magazine, and I immediately called and asked how I could help. I clearly remember Laura Sage saying thank you for reaching out and then saying “you are a new business maybe we can help you” I was so touched at her response – our partnership formed from that conversation!

Who is your dream dinner date and/or which Chicago restaurant would you go to?
I’m an Entrepreneur with a very creative career history. I’ve gone from cosmetology to interior design to food and now Muchacha. I would want to sit with someone that shared the same interest in business so I would have to say Mark Cuban. He has achieved so much and defied all odds with his gutsy- fearless personality and his straight forward ways. He is a Philanthropist and awesome on Shark Tank! The restaurant would be The Signature at the 95th. It has the most perfect view of our beautiful city!
