Me descobri cozinheira aos 9 anos, depois de encontrar um livro de receitas da minha avó. Fiz logo um suflê de espinafre. E nesse dia entendi que cozinhar era o que eu mais gostava de fazer.

Porém a vida tem suas surpresas, e quando percebi já estava formada em Administração e Marketing, enlouquecendo com e-mails e reuniões de salto alto.

Mas sonho é sonho, encorajada pelo meu marido, larguei tudo e me joguei feliz entre panelas e temperos.

Me formei pelo Senac no curso Cozinheiro Chef Internacional e descobri um pouco mais da culinária do meu país numa pós graduação em Cozinha Brasileira.

Minha mistura vem das minhas raízes nordestina e italiana. Paixão, história, família... Trago tudo isso para os pratos do restaurante.

Har jobbet med sikkerhet i et tiår, og vært innom både infosec, personellsikkerhet, krisehåndtering og beredskap, sikkerhetskultur og virksomhetsstyring.

En ting som jeg har vært opptatt av hele veien er forenkling av prosesser, gjøre faget så "enkelt som mulig", slik at sikkerhet kan bygges i hele virksomheten. Jeg har jobbet med frivillige, helsepersonell, renholdere, byråkrater og sikkerhetsvakter og trives med å finne måter å redusere siloer og skape engasjement og samarbeid på tvers av fagområder.

Jeg liker å holde kurs, øvelser og foredrag og elsker å skape dialog, fagdiskusjoner og behovsbasert fokus på sikkerhet👏🏻
