I turn unforgettable flavors into elevated, personalized events.

I’m a Venezuelan-born chef with rich Lebanese roots, and I work as a personal chef, culinary event producer, and food stylist. My love for cooking started in childhood, inspired by my grandmother and my mom, and it grew into a craft built on hospitality, detail, and bold flavor.

After five years living in Mexico City and more than a decade in the industry—including managing a top Brooklyn restaurant and working on MasterChef Latino—I bring creativity, structure, and calm leadership to every table. Based in Miami, I design dining experiences that feel personal, polished, and truly 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 148.60 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, Mediterranean, Local, Italian and French. 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.
