Ricardo Hiltz Marques’03. “In 2003 I entered Estácio de Sá University, at Rio de Janeiro, for Gastronomia and Culinaria graduate course. I will be graduating at the end of 2007. I’ve been working since the beginning of college. My first job was at Casa de Cultura Estácio de Sá, for six months; then I went to work at Ipanema Mix where I stayed for about 1 year and 3 months. After that, I moved to Mix by Bronze with the famous Chef Felipe Bronze. Now, I work as the Chef at Zaza Bistro Tropical. Well, it’s difficult to say that the school influenced me on becoming a Chef because it was something that I started to show some interest in during my last year at The British School but still I didn’t imagine I would actually being doing that as a job. Nevertheless, I believe the school prepares us to do whatever we want to do afterwards, and I am sure I have learned many important things which will help me in my job.”
