Summary
As a bartender for more than 20 years, I pride myself on being a well-versed mixologist with a diverse menu of memorized drink recipes. I have been employed with OMNI for more than 15 years and have worked at two properties in Austin. I am looking to up-level my managerial skills by taking my decades of experience and applying my knowledge in a new role.
