Emily Rudnick, an eighth grader at Greenwood Village’s Aspen Academy, isn’t your typical 14-year-old. For starters, she’s well on her way to owning her own company.
Rudnick has enjoyed cooking since she was five years old, starting with simple dishes like eggs and mac and cheese, and later, upping the ante with steak and grilled veggies. As she grew older, Rudnick developed a taste for spice; Mexican is her favorite cuisine. But she had trouble finding a seasoning blend to add flavor and heat to her cooking, so she took matters into her own hands.
