Episode 6 of Meet a Person With Job: Ahran Cho (MasterChef + Ahran Cooks)

About the series: This is Season 2 of Meet a Person With Job. The series highlights people who remind us that our value is more than what we earn — those pursuing passions, building communities, and creating impact beyond immediate incentives. Featuring cool people doing cool things from my own circle, enjoy the episode.

Featuring: @AhranCooks , who was notably the youngest contestant on @masterchefonfox and now pursuing her passion in hospitality in New York! WAY before its time, Ahran introduced the dichotomy of navigating her Korean-American heritage, Korean food and cuisine in front of America. Learn more about her story, our collective bond being a Korean American woman in America, and healing our inner child.
