  Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

  Feb 2016 - Mar 2020

  Lead Bartender

  More than just checking off the boxes of daily cleaning chores, I built authentic relationships with regular clientele through meaningful connections, deeper than standard customer service. Many of these guests are still close friends of mine. My other standard Rock Bottom bartender duties included making drinks to company standards in a fast pace environment (individually averaging $2000-$3000 in sales for a six-hour shift). Adequately following proper drink and food handling procedures, making drinks to company and industry standards to ensure proper inventory counts, as well as exceptional cash handling procedures. In my final year at Rock Bottom, I took on bar management duties which included managing inventory, placing liquor orders, and coordinating employee schedules. During this time I also acted as the assistant event manager, booking our banquet room for various parties, developing menu options, and managing setup and teardown for all events. Show less

  Barbells for Boobs

  Mar 2020 - Apr 2021

  Marketing Manager

  What began as a volunteer opportunity quickly turned into a full-time position. I worked directly with the Chief Marketing Officer and Content Manager to develop engaging and emotional campaigns that focused on the impactful stories of women impacted by breast cancer who participated in our fitness programs. This powerful and empathetic act of storytelling was imperative to retain donors and increase brand awareness and recognition.
