How long have you been in hospitality & where have you honed your skills? I've been in the hospitality industry for over ten years and I've come to love bartending. Being creative and having the ability to learn has kept me here.
What is the culture at Pure Joy?
Pure Joy's culture is by far the most contagious they strive to do great things and give their employees everything needed to do so. They are organized, and thoughtful, and deliver that spark that the clients are looking for on their special day.
What do you contribute to events (beyond truly exceptional cuisine 😉)?
For events, I contribute to organizing the bar and producing great cocktails while providing the experience and service the client is looking for.
What’s your favorite part of your work?
My favorite part of work is visiting new venues, meeting people from every walk of life, and enjoying the great food the chefs provide us on our breaks! Shout out to the amazing Chimichurri Stephanye makes!
If you were a cocktail or food dish, what would you be and why?
If I were a cocktail I'd be a vesper martini which was made famous by the iconic secret agent James Bond. I choose this because it's a classic and when someone orders it there's always that hint of mystery. I love classic cocktails they are still around for a reason which I strive to be in, in this industry & as for mysterious when have you met a bartender who isn't?
What do you do for fun?
Fun for me is being at home with my teenager, Elena, and dog, Raskal, and making great food listening to music maybe singing along or dancing but always laughing. It's fun to show my daughter the pictures of event spaces and drinks I've made I see that light in her eyes.
What else do you want our readers to know about you?
In my life there's been lots of trials and errors and learning this industry has had its ups and downs. But teaching myself that tomorrow is another day and getting up to accomplish it has made me love it so much. Pure Joy is a wonderful company with such a strong work ethic, I'm very proud to say I am part of the team. Cheers, Salud, Prost.
