While taking on a service assistant role and attending the College of Charleston in 2017, I embarked on an immersive experience in the food and beverage industry. Through dedication and hard work, I swiftly transitioned into the dynamic world of bartending, mastering the craft and cultivating memorable experiences.

My time in Charleston provided me with invaluable opportunities to refine my craft, holding multiple bartending positions across the city and even stepping into leadership roles. However, the onset of the Covid pandemic prompted a shift, leading me to explore new horizons briefly in Augusta, GA and then in Asheville, NC.

In Asheville, I found a community that embraced creativity and innovation, providing the perfect backdrop to further develop my skills and passion for this industry. Proud to call Asheville my home, I continue to push the boundaries of cocktail culture, drawing inspiration from local ingredients and cultural influences. You can find me throwing together libations at ELDR and various other restaurants throughout town. Oh, and I like loud music.
