Summary

Creative, driven bartender with a love for visual storytelling through cocktails. I thrive in high-volume, high-energy settings, bringing good vibes, sharp skills, and a collaborative spirit to every shift. Whether I'm shaking something classic or crafting something wild, my goal is always the same: make it memorable. I care about clean workspaces, strong teams, and leaving guests with a sip they won't forget.
