    I started at this location as a server but in a short period of time learned how to bartend. This is where I learned pour counts, basic cocktails builds, and how to shake a cocktail with a smile.

A normal shift consisted of serving the well for the restaurant a full bar at the same time. I feel like this job was when I first realized that I was capable of handling a lot all at once while still keeping a smile on my face.
