Summary

I am a professional, goal-oriented, hard worker with a strong background in bartending and team leadership. Customer service is always my #1 priority and making sure every customer leaves happy. I take pride in my work and have always been extremely reliable. I am a team player and always make sure my shifts are running smoothly. I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it and I am always willing to lend a hand for a fellow employee when they need help. I love the restaurant atmosphere and that is one of the main reasons I stayed bartending at one place for almost 11 years, I fell in love with the fast pace work and the regulars that came in daily to visit with me!
