Chef
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Mila’s deep connection with the sea began early in life. Her passion for nature and culture led her to a diverse career path, eventually discovering a love for the yacht industry over a decade ago in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
Originally a Veterinarian, Mila also pursued studies in journalism and cinema. Her career has been marked by transformative projects, including caring for wildlife in Bolivia, working on environmental documentaries, and founding a sustainability-focused company.
In 2021 and 2022, driven by a love for working as crew on various vessels, Mila honed her culinary skills at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney and took vegan cooking classes at Agridoce School in Rio de Janeiro.
Her warm, adaptable nature and innovative approach have made Mila a perfect fit for the yacht industry, now leading to her fourth season in the Caribbean. She continues to delight guests with her unique style, inspired by experiencing the cuisines and the seas across South America, USA, Europe, Australia, Panama, and the Caribbean.
