Her cooking style is creative, health-focused, and guest-oriented, with a strong foundation in international cuisine. She is highly skilled in accommodating special diets and tailoring menus to suit individual guest preferences, all while maintaining excellent galley organization and efficiency.

Dasha's talent has also been recognized beyond the yacht industry. She was a finalist on MasterChef Slovenia and the winner of Kuhinja Prihodnosti, earning the title of Best Future Chef in Slovenia in 2022.

Active and adventurous by nature, Dasha enjoys Muay Thai, kickboxing, yoga, and a wide range of sports.
