Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

While a full time student, I learned practical life lessons on the weekends while working at various downtown bars. I learned how to serve others, perform under pressure, and de-escalate potential conflicts using the power of words. I was trusted to make split-second risk assessments and take action when challenged with difficult circumstances or patrons. I studied human psychology and behavior in real time for years, and learned valuable lessons that help me communicate with people of all ages, demographics, and walks of life. I worked in several roles, including security, barbacking, and bartending, always encouraging the responsible consumption of alcohol. Venues included Coglins, Cornerstone, The Architect, and Bowstring Pizza & Brewyard.
