Professional yet fun. I love making drinks and do it well. I don’t get overwhelmed with crowds. When in Nashville I would bartend at the stadium during games. I worked the corner of the bar meaning I had 2 lines and my lines would move faster than the bartenders that had one line. When I worked at the arcade we had to make drinks for the bar and for the servers tables. Servers would always thank me for making their drinks in a timely manner because the other bartenders only focused on the people at the bar. I’m great at multitasking, I’m easy to work with, I’m personable, friendly and can hold conversation. I’m great in a casual environment but will also be fine in a more serious setting.

Originally from Ohio I have been bartending for about 15 years. I started at a fine dining restaurant making fancy martinis and coming up with new drinks for the menu. Since then I have worked in dives, family restaurants, beach bars, hotels, arcade bars and private clubs throughout the eastern part of our country. In Huntsville Alabama I helped open an arcade bar as the bar manager. I came up with most of the drinks on the menu. It was fun having freedom to create. Also in Huntsville I worked in a few fine dining restaurants and a private club that hosted many weddings. In Nashville TN I worked at the opryland hotel. I started at the Jack Daniel’s restaurant and eventually moved the ravello, a fine dining Italian restaurant where I learned a lot more about wine. Working here was my absolute favorite job. Since moving to NC I haven’t worked anywhere. My husband asked me to be the stay at home dog mom to our 4 dogs while he works. I miss bartending though so that’s why I’m here.
