Saint Petersburg,IL
Summary
Hardworking Bartender with experience in large-scale casual dining establishments. Committed to upholding highest standards of customer service and safe food handling practices. Well-versed mixologist with diverse menu of memorized drink recipes. Being a realtor & investor over the last 3 years has allowed me to obtain rentals where I can now step away from being an agent full time & focus on doing what I love, which is designing and rehabbing homes. This is actually where bartending plays a huge role in my move to Florida. In Illinois, bartending for 3+ years allowed me to gain so many valuable skills and get to know the community while I was becoming a realtor. Being new in Saint Pete, my goal is to serve/bartend & develop a network of likeminded people and immerse myself in the community and make new friends.
