What to expect
I love good food and drink, and I bring that enthusiasm to my bartending style. As a performer, I’m also adaptable to different situations, which has been useful in my various jobs. I’m a friendly person who loves making new friends and trying new things.
About
I’m a nerdy, upbeat, and outgoing certified bartender and performer with years of customer service, cash handling, and food service experience. I’m always up for new adventures and making new friends!
A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC, I’ve performed in venues across the country, in different roles. I’ve done singing, acting, fighting, and even performed as a costumed character! Now, as I set roots in Richmond, I’m looking to expanding my horizons with new skills and experiences as a professional bartender!
