Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, amidst natural and sunny landscapes, Mila and the sea have a lifetime relationship. As a worldwide traveler, exploring new places and cultures are key to Mila, as is studying and learning different subjects.

Originally a graduated Veterinarian who also devoted a few of her years in a journalism major. She has a very diverse set of past work experiences: from a communication and marketing analyst, to handling and caring for pumas and jaguars in the Bolivian jungle, to becoming a yacht chef.

Over 10 years ago, at Palma de Mallorca, Spain, was Mila’s first encounter with yachting. Ever since that day, she could often be found in boats, from all shapes and sizes, exploring the bays and beaches from her homeland. 

2022 was the year she decided to unite both of her passions, cooking and sailing. After taking professional cooking classes in Rio, she became a yacht charter chef, having sailed through Spain, Brazil, Panama, the Virgin Islands, and Antigua and Barbuda.

In order to further fuel her desire for new knowledge and new cultures, she has signed up for an adventure half-way across the globe, in the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Sydney, Australia, which she will complete just prior to joining Sunshine Baby. Mila hopes to bring new and innovative techniques to help her translate her passions and visions into cooking as a means to keep dazzling her guests.
