Dearest Gentle Reader,

Word has spread faster than gossip at a garden party — the once fiery chef of Phoenix’s bustling culinary underworld has hung up her apron, traded her knives for notebooks, and now stirs minds instead of sauces amidst Oregon’s misty evergreens.

Yes, our heroine — who once commanded kitchens hotter than the Arizona sun itself — now finds herself in the far more delicate art of behavior and balance, a BCBA among the chaos, shaping humans rather than hollandaise. It appears that the fire in her spirit has not dimmed; it has merely found a new stove to simmer upon.

Gone are the nights of searing pans and shouted “Oui, Chef!” echoing through stainless steel corridors. In their place: the calm precision of behavioral plans, the quiet victory of progress charts, and the deeply satisfying sizzle of growth—this time, from the inside out.

And yet, one cannot help but admire the audacity of it all. To go from the desert flames to Oregon’s damp serenity, from plating perfection to molding potential — it’s a recipe only the bold dare attempt. But then again, dear readers, when has your author ever been anything but deliciously daring? 🤣😂

Yours in intrigue and admiration,
