Get to know me better

Food that warms the heart and experiences to remember

I am a professional with 15+ years of experience. I started cooking at a very young age at home with my family, since then I have been cooking.

Professionally I started at 14 years old, cooking my way up in restaurants in Brazil. I have worked in a variety of restaurants from seafood theme restaurants, french bistro, Italian cantine, and Brazilian traditional food. After acquiring some experience I realized that in order to achieve another level, I needed to improve myself and have more formal learning.

I studied Culinary Arts at the prestigious Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. During my stay there I worked with many great chefs and learned from the best, also participated in a cooking contest where I was awarded first place and as a prize, I was granted a scholarship to study in Italy for a Masters degree in Italian cuisine.

After those experiences, I was called to work for a season at a fine dining restaurant in the Caribbean, on St. Lucia island where I lived for a few months during the high season and worked with European and Caribbean fusion cuisine.

In Brazil, I have also worked as a Private Chef and as an Executive Chef at a 5-star hotel near São Paulo

In 2016 I participated in MasterChef Professionals Brazil, being recognized as one of the strongest contestants of the competition and was eliminated at the top 8 level.

Since then I have been working privately as a consultant to restaurants and doing private dinners and events.
