Summary
I show up on time, I work hard and I have a great time doing it. I don't just enjoy bartending, I love customer service. I know how to balance between making sure everyone is having a good time and doing so responsibly at the same time. I've worked in many high volume establishments and situations and have never had an OLCC violation. I can keep a good attitude and smile on my face in stressful situations.
