Sil’s Story

My love for hospitality began long before I could even walk. As a baby, I was endlessly curious about food , always hungry and always excited. Growing up, I discovered that it wasn’t just the flavors that fascinated me, but the warmth of eating together with the people you love. My mother taught me the beauty of simplicity in the kitchen, and from those first Italian dishes, I understood that food is not only nourishment, but connection."

"Travel became my teacher. Greece showed me the generosity of the Mediterranean table, Malaysia opened my eyes to the depth of Asian spices, and in France I discovered the foundations of technique and tradition. But Mexico left the deepest mark: learning to spearfish my own food, preparing ceviche on the beach with locals, and realizing how respect for nature and culture makes every bite more meaningful. That experience taught me that food is a story of place and people."

Professionally, I wanted to understand hospitality from every angle. I started in a small burger restaurant, worked my way into kitchen leadership, gained insight into the supplier side, and studied hospitality management. During my Hotelschool course, I took on the role of head chef, cooking for 60 guests per day, five days a week, while leading a team and organizing a fine dining event. That experience taught me how creativity, structure, and leadership come together in practice.

All these steps shaped who I am today. I bring energy, cultural awareness, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility. My goal is to keep developing myself as a leader and contribute to experiences that are thoughtful, well-executed, and meaningful.
