Bio: A native Colombian, was born a city girl in Bogota 25 yrs ago. I have been living in sunny South Florida for about 18 years now where my unmistakable connection with food and everything delicious has been a product of the marriage of so many cultures. I am definitely the type of girl that will try it all, work my way through it all, and regret nothing! After 3 years into a Pre-Med career, I finally listened to my inner Foodie and pursued a living where not just my pocket but heart would be happy. I am graduating this year with a BS in Hospitality and as a certified Event Coordinator. I have worked with the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, Alonzo Mourning Charities, and look forward to much more. While playing my guitar is a great hobby, cooking is probably my greatest passion. I am looking forward to great culinary encounters!
