I bring people together through fresh, from-scratch cooking with global soul.

I discovered my passion for the culinary arts at 20, and after studying Arts and Journalism, I followed my true calling into professional kitchens. I trained at Sumito Estévez's Culinary School, where I refined my technique and widened my culinary perspective.

I’ve cooked in San Sebastián, Paris, Miami, New York, and now Dallas—growing from Chef de Partie to Executive Chef. Today, I focus on more personal experiences: immersive cooking classes, intimate private dinners, and a handcrafted coffee bar inspired by my Latin American roots.

I take immense pleasure in bringing people together, and I firmly believe freshness and scratch-made cooking are the only way to go.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to connect people

I cook because I genuinely love bringing people together. For me, the best meals start with peak freshness and end with everything made from scratch—no shortcuts, just real flavor and care.

I’ve built my craft in high-standard kitchens

I’ve developed my culinary career through Hilton and Sheraton Hotels, Landry’s, Inc., and by working alongside celebrity star chefs. Every step taught me discipline, consistency, and how to lead with heart.

I trust time and technique

My secret is simple: I lean into a from-scratch and slow-cooking process. I let ingredients speak, I respect technique, and I build depth of flavor patiently.
