Summary

I was raised in a family-owned successful restaurant, giving me a strong foundation in hospitality and a clear understanding of what it takes to build a reliable, motivated team. Guest satisfaction has always been central to my approach, and I take pride in creating a welcoming, service-driven environment.

With over 10 years of bartending experience and service experience in high-volume settings such as Times Square (NYC), as well as fine dining in SW Harbor (ME), I am confident in my ability to perform under pressure and add immediate value to your team. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills and professionalism to your organization.

Bio

Born and raised in East Texas, I bring an innate sense of courtesy and hospitality. Beginning my career as a dishwasher at a young age, I gained firsthand appreciation for every role within an operation, shaping a deep respect for teamwork and service excellence. I am genuinely passionate about the hospitality industry and treat every establishment with the same care, pride, and professionalism as if it were my family’s own.
