Work History

Server/Bartender

Jimmy Kimmel"s Comedy Club
Henderson, NV
05.2024 - Current
  • The very fast-paced style of serving and bartending, due to it being a comedy club, meant that high-quality service and drinks were detrimental.
  • 200-300+ people shows, so making your rounds quickly and assertively was a big key component. Fast pace won't hinder me in any sort.
  • Checked identification to verify if guests meet minimum age to legally purchase or consume alcoholic beverages.
  • Developed rapport with guests and assisted in generating repeat business by providing exceptional customer service.

Server/Bartender/Event Host

Chicken N Pickle
Henderson, NV
11.2024 - 02.2025
  • Event Host for "Parties" , "Business Meetings" , "Birthdays". Set up the event, made sure whoever was serving the events had everything needed to exceed expectations, closed the event, broke down the event, handled all the payments when the time ended for the event, and needed to give feedback on the event after things were over for the event planners.
  • Some days I'd have to host 1 to 4 events a day within a few hours.
  • Before my departure, I received multiple opportunities for higher positions there. "Key" being one big one.
