I’m a Brazilian professional chef based in Jersey City, New Jersey, with a Culinary Arts degree from the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina (IFSC) in Brazil. After years working as a Chef and Sous Chef in New York City restaurants, I bring creativity, precision, and genuine care into every kitchen I cook in.

I specialize in Brazilian, Italian, Mediterranean, and international cuisine—ranging from comforting homemade meals and nutritious, kid-friendly dishes to elegant fine-dining experiences. Whether I’m preparing weekly family meals or designing a custom menu for an intimate dinner, I focus on fresh ingredients, bold flavor, and thoughtful details that make every gathering feel special.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with love, creativity, and intention

For me, cooking is how I express love, creativity, and passion. I build each menu around the flavors and memories you want to share, so the food feels personal—not generic.

I bring trained technique and real restaurant experience

I learned to cook at the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina (IFSC) in Brazil, where I studied Culinary Arts and deepened my passion for gastronomy. That foundation—plus my years as a Chef and Sous Chef in NYC—lets me deliver professional results in your home.

I rely on fresh ingredients and a signature personal touch

My secret in the kitchen is combining passion, creativity, and fresh ingredients to turn every dish into a unique and memorable experience. I focus on the small details that elevate a meal into something truly special.
