Born in São Paulo and raised in São Sebastião - Brazil I have always been passionate about food, I was lucky to grow up with the freshest of seafood in one of the most paradisiac places in the world, from collecting mussels, catching squid on a kayak, or spearfishing for bass on caves I have grown a huge respect not only for nature, but also for the culture I grew up on which translates to my professional ideology working with food.
With the guidance of wonderful professors at SENAC Santo Amaro, located in São Paulo I got my professional cooking training and extensive knowledge on many different culinary and its history.
With a strong Brazilian background I love sharing my own story with my clients through my food by cooking my favorite coastal dishes, and with my curious nature I have found myself just fascinated by gastronomy. Expanding my palate, embracing different cooking styles, and gaining knowledge of global ingredients while appreciating the cultural significance behind various foods is a huge part of my life and an important aspect in my culinary career. 

I believe that food is not just about sustenance, it is a reflection of history and a plays a very important role on expressing cultural identities.
