Yrs Experience

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.
