ABOUT ME

Behind every project
there is a person.

MY STORY

Creativity, curiosity and care for people
have always been part of who I am.

I was born in Lima and lived there until I was six, before moving with my family to Caracas. I spent an important part of my childhood and youth there, graduating in Tourism and also beginning a path in Fashion Design.

At nineteen, thanks to a scholarship, I returned to Lima and earned a diploma as an Administrative Secretary. During the same period, I chose to begin a career as a Flight Attendant with one of Peru’s most prestigious airlines.

That work taught me organisation, listening, attention to detail and people management. Over time I became Head of Onboard Service, coordinating a team of around 130 people.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

In 2003 I chose
to start again in Italy.

I felt the need to change, grow and open myself to something new. Italy welcomed me and, over time, became home. Here I built a new chapter of my life and fulfilled one of my most important wishes, having my family close to me.

Life also placed difficult moments and profound losses in my path. I learned, however, to keep looking ahead, begin again and make room for new possibilities.

Today I bring all of this into my work. Energy, sensitivity, determination and the ability to care for people.

EVENT & WEDDING

The organisation of
Event & Wedding

For more than ten years I have dedicated myself to creating, organising and designing events and weddings.

Every project is a new story to build, one I approach with passion, responsibility and great attention to detail. I continue to train and develop because I believe that, in this work, we never stop learning or searching for new ways to surprise.

My greatest satisfaction is seeing people happy. When a couple entrusts me with one of the most important days of their lives, I feel the responsibility to accompany them with presence, listening and professionalism, turning their ideas into something real and authentic.

A PROJECT ABOUT PEOPLE

The Association
Amici del Mondo

In 2014, after years of experience in tourism, hospitality and working with people, I felt the desire to turn part of that journey into something bigger.

Together with a few friends, I founded the Amici del Mondo Association to promote culture, integration, tourism and solidarity. Through the association I have organised events, gala dinners, cultural gatherings and local experiences, also collaborating with institutions.

It was also through these experiences that I realised how deeply the world of events belonged to me. Creating, coordinating, welcoming and turning an idea into something people can experience and remember.

MY WAY OF WORKING

An elegant
and personalised style.

My passion is creating weddings that can stand the test of time.

Every project grows from a balance of elegance, genuine emotion and carefully considered details. Different elements that together should tell something about you.

My goal is simple. to turn what you imagine into a real experience, built around your personality and your story, without ever losing harmony, style or uniqueness.

From our first meeting, we begin to get to know one another, listen and build the relationship of trust that is fundamental to me. Because a wedding should not simply be beautiful. you should recognise yourselves in every choice.

“Believe in your dreams; they will give you the strength to keep moving forward.”
