Summary
After 15 years of bartending and managing restaurants in NYC, I spent the last two years traveling across the country. I have recently relocated to Delray Beach, and look forward to continuing my hospitality career here in Florida. I have extensive cocktail knowledge, excellent communication skills, and impeccable references. Most importantly though, I am willing to work hard and have a great attitude.
