Get to know me better

Passionate about cooking, paring and storytelling

I'm a private chef and culinary consultant serving Central Florida, specializing in gourmet on-site meals and full-service catering for any occasion. With over 20 years of industry experience, I bring a deep passion for culinary arts and a flair for creating memorable dining experiences.

My expertise spans a variety of offerings—from tapas and banquet-style catering to plated dinners, all enhanced by a refined knowledge of Tequila, Rum, and Wine pairing. Throughout my career, I've worked as a culinary arts instructor and private caterer, always blending technical skill with cultural appreciation.

While my roots lie in Mexican and Mediterranean gastronomy, my culinary journey has taken me across all continents, allowing me to explore and respect diverse cuisines and their rich histories. As a bilingual chef and culinary storyteller, I enjoy sharing these global influences through live cooking shows, whether in homes, offices, or corporate settings.

I'm proud to hold:

Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Arts

Certification in Oenology

ServSafe® Food Protection Manager

ServSafe® Alcohol Responsibly Certificate

Florida DBPR food safety provider

Certificate of Insurance (COI) for third-party general liability

Let me turn your expectations into an unforgettable culinary experience.
