Summary

Originally from Brazil, I have always had an appreciation for the world of hospitality. Coming to Australia in 2017, originally to learn English and Digital Media, I was inspired by the culinary fusion that Sydney, and more broadly Australia has, blended with its unique service and attention to detail. This led me to stay in Australia to seize the gastronomy and hospitality studies on hand.

Currently, I am looking for an opportunity in the kitchen whereby I can contribute to the business with my confident and positive attitude to work as well as my skills.
