I am a third-year Culinary Arts student at École Ducasse in Paris, passionate about gastronomy, creativity, and discovering new cultures.

I grew up in Munich, Germany, and developed a strong passion for the culinary arts from a young age. Traveling to numerous countries and exploring diverse cuisines has broadened my perspective and shaped my approach to cooking.

As part of my culinary journey, I have gained experience through internships at Le Ritz Paris and Le Coquillage – Maison Roellinger in Brittany. These experiences have strengthened my skills and deepened my appreciation for the creativity, precision, and passion behind exceptional cuisine.

I am driven by continuous learning and new experiences, always looking to expand my knowledge, challenge myself, and discover new perspectives within the world of gastronomy.
