Please tell us a little about yourself:

A professional barista for nine years and a bartender for three, I started my competition career in 2024. As a two-time national champion, I strive to balance technical precision with creativity. When I'm not behind the bar or competing, I record humorous videos for social media to connect with the community through comedy.

What are you excited to do while you visit Brussels?

I'm very much looking forward to immersing myself in the local culture, especially its gastronomy.

What are your interests outside of coffee?

Besides coffee and cocktails, I'm an enthusiast of endurance sports such as running, parkour, mountain hiking, and indoor climbing.

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize, or who helped you to prepare for the WCC?

Special thanks to my team: Amanda Albuquerque, Roberto Zortea, Ariel Todeschini, and Daniel Munari.
