A Ciie

I’m a highly motivated, results-driven bartender with over 15 years in the restaurant industry, transitioning from a successful management career. I focus on crafting personalized cocktails, delivering exceptional guest experiences, and keeping bar operations running smoothly—especially during peak, high-volume service.

As Head Bartender at LDV Hospitality venues including The Maidstone, Barlume, and Ace Hotel, I bring in-depth knowledge of signature drinks and wine by the glass. I’m responsible for maintaining cleanliness and organization to LDV Hospitality standards, adhering to safety and health regulations, and providing attentive, engaging service that supports consistently high customer satisfaction.

Across roles such as Bartender and Lead Bartender (including work at Calissa Hamptons and Siren BK), I’ve used strong wine and spirits knowledge to create unique cocktails, manage cash transactions accurately, and collaborate with kitchen and bar staff for seamless delivery. I’ve also been trusted with leading bar opening/closing duties, restocking, financial transactions, and building relationships with clientele to increase revenue and strengthen customer loyalty.

I bring leadership and team-development strengths from management and front-of-house experience, including Hospitality Manager/Events work where I oversaw team management, supported service in a high-volume environment, assisted with HR functions, coordinated events, and liaised with clients for smooth execution. I enjoy training and developing staff, and I’m especially skilled in combining operational discipline with personable service, bilingual intermediate Spanish, and dependable communication.
