COMPETITOR
US Coast Guard
HEAD COOK: Afeiyah Kamall
COMPETITION: World Dessert Championship
Afeiyah Kamall was born and raised in sunny Florida, but her heart (and baking) beats with the bold flavors of her Guyanese roots. She spent four years in culinary school during high school, but much of her creativity comes from being self-taught. When she's not whipping up dishes for her crew, you'll find her exploring a new country, laughing with family, or turning her kitchen into a playground for new recipes.
