Get to know me better

An international chef with a passion for creating refined, vibrant cuisine inspired by fresh, seasonal ingredients.

I’m an international chef with over 17 years of professional experience, formally trained as an International Cuisine Chef in 2007 in Caracas, Venezuela. My career has taken me through high-end restaurants, luxury hotels, and private service across Caracas, Barcelona, and Miami, shaping my style into a blend of Mediterranean technique, clean cooking, and creative, ingredient-driven cuisine.

I’m passionate about transforming fresh, seasonal products into refined, balanced dishes with beautiful presentation and honest flavors. Known for my calm, organized leadership in the kitchen, I enjoy developing menus, leading teams, and creating memorable dining experiences for guests from around the world.

Currently based in the USA, I’m actively seeking international opportunities and am fully open to relocating to any country to continue growing my craft and expanding my global culinary experience.

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is the way I express who I am a balance of creativity, discipline, and emotion. It’s my language and the place where I feel most alive

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook by watching my mother, a chef, and falling in love with the kitchen from a very young age.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is patience, intuition, and respect for the ingredient.
