From a young age, I found joy in the kitchen, often experimenting with recipes while immersing myself in Italian opera. My initial attempts were a mix of delightful successes and memorable disasters.

Despite this passion, I pursued a degree in Communication Sciences, considering my culinary dreams a distant aspiration.

In my free time, I enjoyed creating dishes like Remy from “Ratatouille.” I would take all herbs and spices and combine them in ways that didn’t make sense.

One unforgettable day, I “borrowed” my mom’s van—without her knowing—to deliver Christmas toys to kids in need. On the way, I had a significant car accident. Instead of panicking, a thought struck me: if something happened to me then, I would never have pursued my true passion.

That realization led me to change course. The following year, I left my communication studies and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu Mexico, diving headfirst into the culinary world.

Life’s too short not to follow your passion—especially when it leads you to the kitchen.
