Summary

As a versatile professional, I bring a unique blend of skills and dedication honed from my experience as a bartender and server, where I've cultivated exceptional customer service, communication, and multitasking abilities. My passion for teamwork and commitment to excellence extend beyond the hospitality industry, as I also am a baseball player, where I demonstrate discipline, adaptability, and a competitive spirit. Whether behind the bar, serving guests, or on the baseball field, I am driven to deliver exceptional results and thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments.
