More about me

For me, cooking is...

a love language — a way to care, connect, and create lasting memories around the table. Bringing joy to everyday moments, one plate at a time.

I learned to cook at...

at home and inherited my love of food from my mom. I was a Top 5 finalist on MasterChef Dominican Republic Season 1, out of 3,000 auditions.

A cooking secret...

balancing bold flavors with simplicity, adding love, curiosity, and a touch of the unexpected—always aiming for that warm, home-cooked feeling.
