Today’s “Up Close and Personal” interview features Roshni Gurnani, skilled chef and dear Reality Rally supporter who will be attending her first Reality Rally this year!
A native of Canada, Roshni has always been interested and passionate about food. Since the tender age of 7 she wanted to be a chef and her career began at the age of 13.

Gillian called me on the phone this afternoon to relay a message that has long been on her heart to share. As you probably know if you have attended Reality Rally, the entire event feels like a family gathering—the comradery, joint effort, and enormous fun combine to make the experience truly bonding for everyone involved.
Over the past few years, Gillian has continued to see this family element grow and grow, and recently it became strikingly evident with the tragic passing of two of our dear volunteers, Michael Lindsley and Andrea Austin.
The evening of February 20th 2016 was the Temecula Chamber of Commerce Gala, but will forever be etched in my mind as a gala night for Reality Rally.
I had been nominated for the Visit Temecula Valley Welty Award for Tourism Professional of the Year, but in my mind this was a nomination for Reality Rally—I was just the mechanism. I was one of 8 nominees. The other 7 are very powerful people in Temecula, so I went basking in the glow of that amazing nomination to even be amongst that group.
