Work History
Barista/ Bartender
Death & Co
03.2023 - Current
Provide craft espresso, cocktails, brunch and conversation.
Maintain a clean lobby, positive vibes, killer espresso, classic cocktails while being a tour guide for guests of the Ramble hotel and those passing through the Rhino area on business.
Working alongside some of the named best bartenders in Denver and the country at large has kept me humble, intimidated, hungry for knowledge, and jealous of the evening ambiance provided by the PM crew.
Before working at Death & Co I was terrified of handling the cocktail side of the bar, a year and half into this job I can confidently say it is the aspect I have learned to love the most and am currently peckish for inspiration and higher volume of hands on experience.
My time at Death & Co has taught me that I have an innate love and knack for hospitality.
