Then & Now - Two chapters, one throughline
Taking care of the room

Then — the hospitality years

I started in a Santa Ana, CA restaurant bussing tables and returned to Washington to continue my journey. I washed dishes and worked every station on my way up: host, server, busser, barback, expo, and finally found my lane as a bartender.I became a flair bartender at TGI Fridays, a regional flair bartending champion, and a national flair bartending competitor, earning the title of Master Bartender along the way. I ran high-volume service bars, supported full floors of servers during peak rushes, and was consistently rated the #1 bartender and among the top 5 servers.

Now — the tech chapter

I moved into technology and grew into a seasoned leader — managing teams, driving operations, and solving problems under pressure at a large scale. This chapter sharpened my communication, my composure, and my ability to lead people through chaos calmly.

Today — bringing it back to the floor

Now I'm ready to bring my skills and leadership back to where I started: the restaurant - behind the bar and on the floor. Same instincts, same energy, more tools.
