I am passionate about cooking and learning new recipes I worked in a field supporting people. Part of my job was life skills which included cooking skills. I am currently working with a young woman and part of my job is helping her to prepare food and clean. I am also an amazing home chef and I regularly prepare meals for my freezer. I love all kinds of cuisines including Mexican, Italian, Indian and various Asian cuisines. I also worked in hospitality for many years. I was front of house but I learned a lot from professional chefs.

I’m a Brazilian chef with a lifelong passion for cooking. Growing up in a family that has owned restaurants for over 40 years, the kitchen has always been my second home. I earned my Culinary Arts degree in Brazil in 2017 and have since worked with a wide range of cuisines and dining styles. From casual weekly meals to refined private dinners, I focus on delivering a personalized experience rooted in flavor, nutrition, and hospitality. Today, I bring my expertise to private homes and events while also working at Cardero's and with a health-focused company that emphasizes balanced, nourishing meals. Whether you are looking for a special dinner or weekly meals, I'm here to make it unforgettable. Reach out—I'd be happy to plan something tailored just for you. I’ve been working professionally as a chef since 2017, after graduating with a degree in Culinary Arts in Brazil. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in both restaurant kitchens and private settings, allowing me to adapt to a wide range of culinary styles and client needs. My core specialties are Brazilian and Italian cuisine, rooted in my heritage and personal passion. However, I’ve also worked with Mediterranean, vegetarian, low-carb, and wellness-focused menus—especially in my current role with a company dedicated to balanced, health-conscious eating.

My name is Kim. I live in Vancouver, BC. I have been working in the food and beverage industry since I was 17 years old. I was a hostess, busgirl, food expeditor, server, and bartender. Growing up my dad was a professional chef so I have learned from the best! When the pandemic happened I was spending more time at home, so it allowed me to explore my creative side. I have created a whole line of organic yogurt dipping sauces that have gained popularity among the fitness industry. If you would like to learn more about my dip venture you can search Dip Queen Vancouver to see all of my reviews from customers! I’ve worked on food and beverage teams since the age of 17. My most recent restaurant experience ended in 2019-2020 due to mandatory shut down due to the pandemic. I have my food safe course, and my smart serve.
