At Junk Punch, I manage social media and digital content for the bar, planning and publishing event promotions, drink specials, staff features, and themed campaigns.

I produce promotional photography and social-first content from shoot planning through editing and delivery. I also design branded event flyers and graphics for recurring nightlife events, seasonal promotions, and special programming.

At Junk Punch and Reservoir Bar Patio & Grill, I manage bar operations, including staff performance, scheduling, inventory, and guest service. Earlier, at Six Flags Over Texas, I managed entertainment operations and provided makeup artistry.
