First is Ana from El Salvador. She's currently working as a Kitchen Manager in a restaurant. In my opinion, she is the most talented and experienced of all. I say this because i've seen her creations and she possesses the right attitude towards work. She made most of her classmates' desserts because she is quite artistic. Her presentation is one of my favorites.
