i. Biography
Coming Up
Formal hospitality training at Hospitality school in Venezuela gave Tatiana Mora the base discipline that shows up across the rest of her work. That foundation carried into an internship at Walt Disney in United States, where service, pace, and precision were part of the daily standard. The value of that early training is plain: it established the habits that matter in any serious kitchen or dining room, from consistency to attention to detail. Chef work across Spain, Venezuela, Barbados, and Mexico widened the range of Mora’s practice. Each post added another working context, with different teams, expectations, and service rhythms, and each one asked for the same core skill set: adapt quickly, execute cleanly, and keep technique intact under pressure. The result is a career built through repetition in varied kitchens, not theory. Ownership changed the scale of the work. In 2019, Mora became an owner and Ownership Team Member at Serenata in Washington, D.C, bringing her into decisions that sit beyond the pass. That experience now informs Mita, where she is co-founder and head of the kitchen and owner. The role brings together the operational side of the business and the day-to-day demands of leading a kitchen.
