Get to know me better
Cooking is about love. On nurturing people with joy and good times
Graduated from The Art Institute of Austin, Texas in 2020, I joined the team of Chefs Bradley Nicholson and Susana Querejazu at the Commodore Perry State Auberge Resort. After great learning and industry immersion, I went to work with Chefs Jeffrey Hundelt and Katie Barrett at the SummerHouse at Magdalena Hotel from Bunkhouse Group where I was inspired by Texan cuisine.
After this spectacular period of professional growth, I decided to accept the challenge of crossing the Atlantic and embarking on an experience, thus becoming Chef de Cuisine at Casa Guedes Progresso, where I have already signed my third tapas menu.

A cooking secret...
Accuracy over speed is the way I teach my cooks. You don't have to be fast. You need to respect the meal and be accurate.
