I graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Food and Nutrition Management. After graduating, I felt it was time for me to move on from the heat of Arizona and explore something new. I landed in Denver, Colorado in 2012 and it quickly grew to become home. Since moving to Denver, I had only known working in the restaurant industry. During this time, I developed a passion for cocktails and creating an experience for a guest through spirits. I have now transitioned to a shipping lead and booking assistant at a local, small business, Howdy. Howdy is a design and marketing agency that curates and creates virtual experiences with companies who are hoping to bring their employees and prospective clients together by making them feel seen, heard, and cared for. While at Howdy, I have been able to use my knowledge as a bartender to create content for these experiences while also getting the opportunity to moderate and instruct. Howdy has continued to fuel my passion of creating moments and experiences for people to connect.
