About

💾 Acquired experience at Pastry & Bakery Arts in Portugal, Angola, Spain, France, Capo Verde, Hungary and now Italy. (working in IT for almost 7 years almost doesn't count, but yup, I was and started to be a Team Leader with my 19-year-old (thanks to Diogo that shaped me!). Backing up to the subject .. from working in Pastry Shops, Resellers to Fine Dinning and Luxurious Hotels, making openings or starting a business from 0. In the meanwhile done Post Graduation in Hotel Management, being a certified trainer, of course the most important part of being here, is being a Father ❤️ Seeking challenges and always trying to make a difference, for the best, at work but most of all in the life of the ones that I have the opportunity to work with! Sharing culture, and lifestyle and learning from the amazing experiences that I had and hope to have, is definitely a must!
