Letter of Introduction

Dear Hiring Team,

I'm writing to express my interest in your open bartending or server role. With 7+ years of experience across clubs, bars, and high-energy venues in both New York and Nashville, I bring a rare blend of speed, professionalism, and personality behind the bar.

Most recently, I worked at The District Lounge in NYC, where I handled bottle service, walk-up bar traffic, and full VIP sections on packed weekends. Prior to that, I bartended and served at The Stillery in Nashville, known for live music, large crowds, and a steady stream of tourists. Whether I’m mixing cocktails, managing a section, or keeping the floor flowing smoothly with staff, I thrive under pressure and love being part of the energy.

In addition to my bar experience, I’ve also worked in leadership roles at Gordon’s and as a project lead for Bright LLC, where I managed venue openings, staff training, and guest experience strategy for popular spots like Limelight and L.A. Jackson.

I’m certified, quick with POS systems, and pride myself on being the kind of person guests remember—for the right reasons. I’d love to bring that same energy, efficiency, and guest-first focus to your team.

Thank you  for your consideration! 

Best,
Danishia Colomb
