Who am I ?
Passionate pastry chef and entrepreneur, I had the privilege of training at École Ducasse, recognized as the best pastry school in the world. My journey has taken me to Michelin-starred establishments such as Le Pavillon in New York, where I enhanced my expertise in culinary creation, large-scale organization, and my ability to collaborate with others in a demanding profession. Fine dining has always been about more than just food for me—it's about the people, the exchange of ideas, and the constant evolution of our craft. I thrive on connecting with talented professionals, learning from different perspectives, and finding new ways to push creativity in gastronomy.
