With over 16 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I am passionate about creating memorable guest experiences through tailor-made beverage programs that work seamlessly to execute the vision of each client. As the Principal of Traditional Cocktail Co, a cutting-edge "all things beverage" company, I lead a team of talented professionals who share my respect for the fundamentals and history of our craft, as well as my appreciation of food and drink culture.In addition to running my own company, I also serve as the Beverage Director at Blackbird Ordinary, a popular and award-winning bar in Miami, where I handle all aspects of beverage operations, from menu development and inventory management to staff training and quality control. I have also been a Brand Ambassador for Zacapa Rum, one of the world's finest rums, where I assisted the Lead Ambassador and Brand Team in promoting the brand and educating consumers and trade professionals. I have a strong background in catering, wine, marketing strategy, and restaurant management, and I am a proud graduate of Bar 5 Day, a prestigious accreditation in the beverage industry.
