What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster personal growth and allow me to contribute my culinary skills in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated professional in the hospitality and gastronomy industry, driven by a passion for learning and personal growth. My journey has taken me through various prestigious establishments, where I have honed my skills in culinary arts and event management. I believe in putting my utmost effort and dedication into everything I do, ensuring that I contribute significantly to my team and the overall guest experience.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Education at UCI University while working as a Banquet Cooking Intern at Hyatt Regency Mexico City. My role involves preparing and testing menus for events, showcasing my ability to work under pressure while maintaining high standards of quality. Additionally, my experience as a Cooking Intern at Sofitel Mexico City Reforma has further solidified my culinary skills, particularly in the preparation and presentation of dishes.

With a strong foundation in international gastronomy and a commitment to excellence, I am eager to continue my professional journey, seeking opportunities that allow me to grow and make meaningful contributions in the hospitality sector.
