Summary

I have always had a love and admiration for the service industry. I've worked in restaurants, bars big and small and venues from fine dining to beach front for 20 years. I love the hustle and bustle atmosphere and providing a memorable experience that make customers want to come back! I am looking for part time bar work as my school year is slowing down and have time and energy to give! I am a dynamic and dedicated professional with experience as a Paraeducator at Western Suffolk BOCES, adept at fostering student engagement and self-advocacy. A skilled mixologist with strong communication abilities, I excel in delivering exceptional customer experiences while managing high-volume service environments. Committed to enhancing learning outcomes and ensuring operational excellence.
