Personal Chef In Manhattan Beach
Get to know me better
As a personal chef, I bring to your table the perfect combination of texture, flavor and aroma, making every bite a celebration of culinary art.
Born and raised in Brazil, I grew up surrounded by the rich traditions of authentic Italian cuisine. My grandparents cultivated everything on their own farm and garden, from fresh vegetables to proteins like pork, duck, chicken, and fish. This idyllic environment sparked my culinary curiosity, and at just 12 years old, I began experimenting in the kitchen, starting with baking cakes and, of course, leaving behind a trail of flour and joy. Those early moments remain some of my fondest memories, and I love sharing them through my cooking.
In 2011, I earned a degree in Tourism and Hospitality, a field that allowed me to connect my passion for food with creating memorable experiences. To refine my skills, I pursued a Gastronomy degree at UNIVALI, one of Brazil’s most prestigious culinary schools, graduating in 2013.
With over 12 years of experience in the culinary world, I’ve honed my craft through diverse opportunities. While living in Brazil, I owned a coffee shop where I prepared dishes using fresh vegetables from my garden and premium meats and fish from trusted suppliers. This hands-on experience deepened my appreciation for quality ingredients and sustainable cooking practices.
Now residing in California, I continue to share my love for cooking, blending my heritage with global flavors to create unforgettable dining experiences.
