I am a Gourmet graduate from the University of La Sabana with a Diploma in Consulting Apprenticeship from the same institution. Additionally, hold a Professional Culinary Management diploma from Fanshawe College in Canada. My expertise spans culinary arts, food studies, food science, and technology, focusing on Colombian, European, Asian, and American cuisines.
I have a solid background in managing food and beverage businesses and am skilled in entrepreneurship, modern culinary technologies, procedures, and quality control tools (including Six Sigma) applied to ingredients, techniques, and product development within the industry.
With experience in the United States, Colombia, and Canada, I am proficient in business modeling and skilled in Excel and Canvas for data management and project organization.
In my role within the development area, I was responsible for designing, selling, and standardizing menus and gastronomic projects for the company. My main responsibility involved auditing, supporting, and training production staff on new recipes implemented after they were sold to clients.
I also collaborated closely with local and international chefs to standardize and prepare dishes, and I conducted sensory evaluations of ingredients from various suppliers. Additionally, I participated in high-end culinary events for major national and international clients, showcasing our projects and building client relationships.
