Summary

With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, including nearly 5 years in event coordinating and bar management, I have developed the ability to thrive in high-stress environments while consistently delivering exceptional service. I possess exceptional people skills and keen attention to detail, which are complemented by an infectiously positive attitude. I firmly believe in creating an inclusive and unpretentious environment within the industry, and enjoy sharing my knowledge in an approachable, judgment free manner with both guests and future clients. This deep-rooted love extends not only to craft beer, but also to Coppertail Brewing, where I have found a true sense of belonging. By leveraging my expertise and unwavering dedication, I am confident in my ability to significantly contribute to our sales team.

Work History

Bartender/Server

Coppertail Brewing
12.2020 - Current
  • I started at Coppertail in December 2020, right at the end of Covid. I began waiting tables and was moved to full-time and event bartender very quickly due to my experience and knowledge.
  • I have had the pleasure of being a brand ambassador for prestigious breweries such as New Belgium and Abita, and I'm confident that I can sell our product even more efficiently with the knowledge and skills I've developed with my experience in the years since. My passion for our product and for the craft is apparent in both my work ethic and attitude.
  • I am always looking to grow, and learn. I take constructive criticism to heart, and work diligently to continually better myself
  • One of the most important skills I've learned is my ability to relate and connect with people. Although this is an important skill for a bartender or server, the practical application of these skills has also helped me to excel in other areas.
