I love being a bartender because it allows me to connect with people and make their day a little brighter. There's something truly special about crafting a drink that not only satisfies but also sparks a moment of joy. I take pride in creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and at ease. Seeing someone's face light up, hearing their laughter, or simply knowing I helped make their evening better—these moments make my heart smile, and that's what keeps me coming back every day.
What is your favorite drink to make and why?My favorite drink to make is a custom cocktail, crafted specifically for each individual. I love the challenge of tailoring a drink to someone's unique tastes, whether it’s a refreshing twist on a classic or something entirely new. The joy of listening to their preferences, then creating a personalized experience with the right balance of flavors is truly fulfilling. It’s not just about the drink—it’s about connecting and making something special just for them. That’s what makes bartending fun.
What would you do with the $20,000?If I had $20,000, I’d start by securing my elderly parents' well-being, ensuring they have the best care and comfort they deserve. I’d also donate a portion to local charities that support healthcare for the underserved and fund initiatives to combat hunger. Giving back is important to me, and I’d love to make a tangible impact in my community. Balancing personal care with philanthropy would allow me to help those I love while supporting others in need.
