My Story
I'm passionate about Pre-Hispanic and international cuisine. I love food in all its forms—the flavors, the stories behind each dish, the joy it brings, and the meaningful connections it creates. For me, cooking is not just about preparing meals—it's about celebrating culture, memory, and community.
I launched my chef business at the beginning of the pandemic, a time that challenged me but also opened the door to my dreams. Since then, I’ve had the incredible honor of working alongside some of the most talented personal chefs in California. Every collaboration has been a learning experience, and I’ve absorbed a wealth of skills and inspiration along the way.
I’m originally from Mexico, and my heart belongs to the coast. That’s why seafood is at the core of my favorite dishes—it takes me back to my roots, to the beaches I grew up near, and to the flavors that make me feel most alive. Cooking these dishes for my clients brings me so much joy, especially when I see their faces light up after the first bite. It reminds me exactly why I chose this path: because feeding people is my love language.
Now, I’m thrilled to begin a new chapter—teaching on ClassBento! Sharing my passion through hands-on experiences is something I've always dreamed of. I can’t wait to teach others how to explore bold flavors, connect with rich traditions, and gain confidence in the kitchen. Whether you’re a curious beginner or an adventurous foodie, I’m excited to welcome you into my culinary world.
Let’s cook, learn, and make something delicious together.
