I blend global flavors into thoughtful, memorable meals.

I’ve spent over 12 years in professional kitchens, building a strong foundation across ingredients, techniques, and cuisines. That range has shaped me into a versatile, open-minded cook who can adapt confidently to different styles while keeping every plate intentional and well-balanced. I grew up in a Portuguese household where I was encouraged to explore flavors and experiment, and my professional path began in a Japanese restaurant—an experience that deeply influenced the way I cook today. I bring those influences together to create bold, culturally inspired dishes that feel authentic and enjoyable from the first bite to the last.

Cooking is what brings me joy—what helps me with everyday stress as I go into my zone and create.

What you can expect when you book with me

I cook from a place of joy and focus

Cooking is what brings me joy, and it’s how I reset from everyday stress. When I get into my zone, I create with intention—layering flavor and technique so the final dish feels balanced, expressive, and satisfying.

I keep learning, evolving, and refining

I learned to cook from my mother, and every job I’ve worked has taught me something new. Now I keep pushing myself through self-teaching and constant practice, so my food continues to grow with me.

I put my heart into every plate

My secret in the kitchen is getting into my zone—because I can’t create delicious food if I don’t put my heart into it. I bring that mindset to every menu and every course, so the experience feels personal and memorable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 128.20 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Local and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
