>  
> Mark your calendars and save the date for Seminars at Hadley Presents: MasterChef Winner Christine Ha: My Delicious Experience on Tuesday, October 9 at 10:00 AM CDT, 15:00 GMT. Christine will will share her experience on MasterChef and address how she has overcome challenges in the kitchen as a blind cook.

> “We’re very proud to have Christine as a student and very excited for her to talk about her experiences during the seminar,” says Hadley Senior Vice President Dawn Turco. “Christine’s success is a great example of Hadley’s mission to promote independent living.”
>  
> In 2003, Christine was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica (NMO), an autoimmune disease that attacks the optic nerves and caused her vision loss. Before losing her sight, Christine worked as a software consultant. She developed a passion for cooking in college, when she enjoyed making meals for her friends. She also has a degree in creative writing, and would like to pursue a publishing deal. Her culinary dreams include opening an ice cream shop and a gastropub.  
> “Winning MasterChef proved not only to the world but also to myself that dreams can come true against all odds. Hadley helped me get back on my feet with cooking after losing my vision by offering courses on independent living skills.  I received raised bumps to place on my stove knobs, ovens, and microwave which fostered my courage to venture back into the kitchen,” says Christine.
