I’m a gastronomy professional with formal culinary training and hands-on experience as a chef, kitchen hand, and catering assistant. I focus on consistent quality, strong hygiene practices, and smooth service even in fast-paced environments.

In my recent role as Chef at Pavilion, Viaduct Harbour, I supported daily kitchen operations, food preparation, and service while maintaining strict food safety and hygiene standards. Earlier, at Even Catering in Ecuador, I assisted chefs with event food preparation, kept the kitchen clean, and helped the team deliver efficiently.

I’ve also built customer-facing experience as a Waiter / Hospitality Assistant at Chili’s in Ecuador, providing service in a high-volume restaurant and coordinating between kitchen and front-of-house. I bring reliability, adaptability, teamwork, and time management to every shift.
