I’m Venezuelan, born and raised by a multicultural family from Germany, Spain, Argentina, and Italy. Perhaps that’s why I love Knödeln, pasta, paella, and parrilla.
I moved from Venezuela to Ireland in 2015, lived there for a year, and then moved to Germany for almost two years. After that, I moved to Spain, where I have been for the last six years.
Being a chef by profession, I started working in a bar in Hortaleza, where I began to learn more about Spanish culture. I worked there for a year, then moved to a restaurant. In February 2020, I started working at Federal Cafe, a well-known cafe famous for its brunches. I began as a kitchen steward and gradually worked my way up to Sous Chef.
In 2023, looking for a change of pace, I applied for the Cosentino campaign here at Foundever. I got the job, and my life suddenly took a 180-degree turn. Working in the kitchen represents not only physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion but also irregular days off, which makes having a social life quite challenging.
Working at Foundever has been great. I have a wonderful boss and fantastic coworkers who are always willing to help, and the work environment is peaceful compared to a kitchen.
I look forward to staying here as long as I’m wanted. For now, it seems like it’s going to be a long time.
