As manager of Kinzie On the Rocks, I built up the reputation of Jewel's first in-store bar. I plan with my team successful beer tap takeover events that consistently bring in a diverse clientele. To date I have hosted 11 tap takeovers from popular regionally known breweries as well as local breweries. I keep up with beer trends and craft beer specialties like Bells' Hopslam or Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. I make it my top priority to keep customers returning for my weekly rotating draft list. I also received the honor of an invitation from Lagunita's Brewing to witness production of a hoppy porter craft beer that was exclusively available at Kinzie. It was there I was able to intimately get to know the beer making process which increased my strength as bar manager.

As a liquor buyer and Osco manager at Jewel Osco's flagship store, I established myself and remain one of the highest ranking in my division for craft beer, earning my store a top spot in earnings every quarter, beating out my competitors. I also come with four years of manager experience, and four years of training managers and corporate office staff. I also do my own accounting, inventory, and pivot tables in Excel. With over 2,000 cases sold weekly, I have worked closely with my suppliers and distributors to give my customers the best beer selection Chicago has to offer. I also take pride in bringing in $110,000 in liquor sales weekly as well as the following:- Number one account in wine sales in the JO chain.- Number one account for Tito's Vodka in chain. - Number one in numbers for Ballast Point in the chain.- Sold 82 cases of Bourbon County Stout in 45 minutes on Black Friday 2017.
