I deliver high-volume coffee, wine, cocktail, and restaurant service while leading collaborative teams.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently leading bar service at Eightfold Coffee, a high-volume Echo Park neighborhood shop where customer service and a precise espresso dial matter every day.
I've served wine, beer, and cocktails at Melody, supporting busy services, large parties, buyouts, and producer events while handling stocking, inventory, and wine-focused service.
At Lemon Poppy Kitchen, I combined barista and bartender work with shift leadership, beverage prep, inventory, real-time problem-solving, and team management during busy brunch service.
My background also includes fast-paced service at WeHo Bistro and Bludso’s Bar & Que, plus assistant management at Milk Jar, where I helped build systems, policies, training, catering operations, and inventory practices for a local bakery startup.
