Summary
I’m 23 years old and studied in Guadalajara, Mexico, where I’ve had the privilege of working at two of the city’s top restaurants, Santo Coyote and Bruna Restaurant. What drives me in the culinary world isn’t just the craft itself, but the relationships I build with my team and guests. I believe that collaboration, communication, and a shared passion for excellence are key to creating something truly special. Whether it’s mentoring others, learning from those around me, or connecting with guests through my work, I’m always focused on building meaningful connections that lead to growth, both personally and professionally.
