About

With over 15 years of experience in the culinary world, from fine dining and boutique hotels to cruise ships and catering operations, I’ve had the opportunity to lead kitchen teams, design creative menus, and deliver memorable food experiences to guests from around the world. I enjoy bringing local flavors and ingredients to life, always aiming for dishes that are both comforting and inspiring. I’m also used to working under pressure, managing large teams, and making sure operations run efficiently while keeping quality and cost control in check.
