Summary
Customer experience is at the heart of everything I do. I excel in creating elevated guest experiences by combining deep product knowledge, particularly in spirits, cocktails, and wine, with a warm, attentive approach. My background behind the bar has given me strong expertise in mixology, pairing recommendations, and educating guests on premium spirit selections, all while maintaining a high standard of efficiency and service under pressure. Whether behind the bar or on the phone, I consistently strive to exceed expectations and leave a lasting positive impression.
