Summary
Friendly and experienced bartender with a passion for great drinks and even better service. Over the past 8 years, I've worked in a variety of fast-paced bars and restaurants, where I’ve learned how to keep things running smoothly—even on the busiest nights. I love creating classic cocktails, experimenting with new recipes, and making sure every guest feels welcome and taken care of. I’m quick on my feet, a team player, and always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and keep the good energy flowing.
Knowledgeable and can demonstrate my ability in maintaining a clean and organized bar while effectively managing inventory and supplies.
