Summary
Upon graduating high school in '08, I started college & quickly found out that I needed income. I accepted my first job as a hostess in the service industry, dropped out of college & worked my way up to management. I have almost 10 years of bartending & management experience & 15 years total in the industry. I'm hard working, & dedicated to excellent service & upholding company standards for the food & beverage quality. Witty, intuitive, & diligent are words I would use to describe me. I've done it all when it comes to the FOH & I enjoy an opportunity to come to work to join my team & create a guest experience every time, that can't be matched by anyone else.
