Get to know me better
Passionate for forward thinking/modern cooking techniques , locally sourced organic ingredients & moments shared in the kitchen.
Professional chef with 6+ years in fine dining kitchens. Born and raised in Puerto Rico then relocated to Tampa FL where my culinary Career took flight. Worked my way around local kitchens ( seminole hard rock, Rocca & more) when I decided to take my career a step further and began doing farm to table experiences with local farms (most recent Meacham Urban Farm); posting dishes on my instagram page as a showcase to my acquired techniques along the way while also connecting with a lot of local chefs in the Tampa Bay Area! I'm open for business and cannot wait to meet you!
