What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue growing in hospitality, contributing to a professional and united kitchen team while learning new techniques, taking on challenges, and delivering high-quality dishes with careful presentation.

I've built my kitchen experience at A Coudelaria, Pestana Hotel Group, and Pestana Rua Augusta, preparing and finishing dishes to high standards of presentation and quality.

At A Coudelaria, a restaurant focused on rustic and traditional Portuguese cuisine, I prepared mise en place and cooked selected dishes during my internship. At Pestana Hotel Group, I was responsible for plating and finalising healthy Mediterranean dishes and received a 19/20 evaluation during my internship.

A year into my professional kitchen career, I was invited by the Chef to join a new project as a First Cook. I contributed to menu development and gained experience in the daily management and organisation of a professional kitchen.

I'm organised, fast, and dedicated, with a calm and patient approach in demanding environments. I value professionalism, teamwork, detail, and the opportunity to learn new techniques in hospitality.
