My favorite thing about being a bartender is creating unique cocktails that spark joy and connection, while meeting diverse people every shift. The chance to be creative, make people feel welcomed, and see them enjoy what I crafted is incredibly fulfilling.
What is your favorite drink to make and why?My favorite drink to make is a Bailey cocktail! It’s smooth, rich, and has a comforting, indulgent feel that guests love. Plus, it's versatile—whether served on its own or blended with other flavors, it’s always a crowd-pleaser and makes for a cozy experience.
What would you do with the $20,000?With $20,000, I'd invest in expanding my bartending expertise, enhancing my production company, and supporting my documentary, The Untold Stories of Deaf Inmates. Specifically, I'd use funds to improve equipment, cover film production costs, and build marketing for greater reach. This would allow me to amplify Deaf voices in the criminal justice system while furthering my creative goals in mixology and hospitality.
