Summary

Bartending is a passion of mine, as you engage in stimulating conversations, whether they be past funny stories, new developments in the news, skiing, academia, or world traveling. As a Latina who was a professional comedian, I have been called funny, spicy, and known to light up a room. Having a killer synergy with my bar partners is crucial to me, as that is the heart of the bar..I'm looking for my next fun spot that values veteran bartenders. Reliable and hardworking professional works autonomously or in teams to serve several customers per shift. Experience managing staff and day-to-day operations. Thriving interpersonal and multitasking skills honed in fast-paced customer-focused environment.
