My Background in F&B
Currently leading an aggressive program at THYME BAR NYC. Creating thought provoking , technique driven cocktails themed off IDENTITY.
In 2023 I opened ILIS as the head Bartender under the direction of Bobby Murphy (NEXT, Existing Conditions). I previously was the Beverage Director at Le Salon Cocktail Bar in Tribeca (now closed). Where I offered a menu of 0-proof cocktails , an array of nostalgic libations, and a guided Barrel Aged Cocktail Tasting. and Hosted the TikTok famous Celestial Cocktail Hour featuring Harridan Vodka, where guests would spin a zodiac wheel to try and win a complementary themed cocktail.
I am available for cocktail styling for photo shoots, private events (Nom & Meniscus), International Guest Shifts, Consulting, and recipe development for publication.
