My professional career took shape in a totally vocational way, after completing my studies I decided to enter one of the leading schools in Spain, "Escuela Superior de Hostelería y Turismo de Madrid".

I had 4 years of training, which I combined with working in the same sector and with the ambition to learn.
I started my internship in a restaurant dedicated to big events called Palacio de la Misión (Grupo La Misión), where I learnt how to manage traditional cuisine, the management of an event kitchen and large volume.

After finishing my internship with them, they offered me to continue and I worked in different restaurants of the group for about two years. Shortly after, I was offered to join a catering company run by Julián Barros, the current owner of the Mawey Taco Bar chain.

I was promoted to second head chef and we ran the business together. He was one of the chefs who showed me the demands and determination of French cuisine, as he trained at Le Cordon Bleu in France.

Over the years I ended up working for a while in the Miguel Ángel hotel, I also spent some time in the gastronomic department of the Eurostars Madrid Tower hotel, and I ended up in a very typical and traditional place called La Posada del León de Oro in the Cava Baja in Madrid, learning that traditional and deep-rooted cuisine that has formed my most traditional foundations.

In order to broaden my knowledge in this sector, I decided to train myself by travelling to other countries to get to know the different gastronomic cultures. I first started in Spain, from North to South, and then I travelled to countries such as Italy, Tunisia, Portugal, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand and Mexico.

Later, I decided to create my own concept of transgressive, traveller, traditional and self-taught cuisine and it is at that moment when the restaurant I opened in 2016 in the Salamanca district of Madrid, called Shalakabula, took shape, which after almost five years of operation, I decided to close and open new horizons in the Zielou restaurant.
