FOOD PATRONUS | Without a doubt, I would be dark chocolate. Why? Because of its rich flavor, texture, aroma, and versatility. Most importantly, dark chocolate is an ingredient that, when treated with respect and understood for its uniqueness, can truly shine. And when it shines, it becomes a beautiful masterpiece. A great chocolate is the final product that showcases the land it came from, it’s variety, and a good chocolate maker. It's a great example of how human and nature can collaborate to create something wonderful. That can also last long and help reduce waste.

EDUCATION | Double Major in Culinary Arts and F&B management from USFQ, Ecuador. Later, a Master's in Sweet Cuisine from Basque Culinary, Spain. My favorite thing is learning and diving deep into chocolate and coffee.

BACKGROUND CHECK | I am from Quito, Ecuador! I was too young to remember when I fell in love with hospitality, so I'll say I was born within me.

I started as a Pastry Chef and then moved to management. From pastry shops, hotels, cruises, and restaurants, I've enjoyed them all. Always in the luxury market. My favorite job was the simplest of all I've ever had, a barista at a specialty coffee shop.

I am now the GM of sway Aspen, which means I am the one that supports and inspires everyone, while maintaining a sustainable business model.

HOSPITALITY PHILOSOPHY | Hospitality is a team sport; Happy people deliver happy experiences; Be approachable, be kind, be firm

FAVE THING ABOUT NW | My team

SUPER POWERS | None, I am well-rounded. I have a little of everything but not just one major thing.
