The Service industry has been a part of my life for 16 years with extensive management skills in the BOH as a kitchen manager as well as FOH managing for service and bar. However, my true passion is bartending. I take pride in being a kind, dependable, and a reliable person. My reputation will show that I am a very hard working and beneficial asset in any position that I am in while I continue to grow as a person. I am strongly coachable and dedicated to providing the best customer service possible.
