Hometown: I was born and raised in my home city of Naples in the South of Italy, where I found my love for the sea. This guided me to pursue a Nautical career, and I was then fortunate enough to travel all around the world. Without any plan, I decided to move to the UK to study for my Officer Of The Watch certificate.

Personal: Single

Food style / inspiration: I love cooking traditional Italian food from my hometown of Naples.

Why Masterchef?: I love the sea and am passionate about fishing and cooking fish. I’d love to showcase this on MasterChef.
