Favourite Part of the Job | My favourite part about my job is that I get to meet people in a hospitality aspect. Me being more introvert in general, this job gives me the ability to be social. The place I’m at has a whole range of people coming in so I’m able to interact with a whole range of people in different stages of life.
Favourite After Work Drink | Milk Punch
Favourite bar in the world | Shelter (Calgary)
Best known for | I’m best known at the bar for being the one that helps everyone. Most of the time people that I work with normally come to me if they have technical questions. I have a greater sense of perception than most so I’m really good at anticipating things that will happen. I guess that’s a good thing.
Favourite “at work” memory | My favourite memory is during Stampede while eating a freeze stick in between a corporate event in the back. It was a hot day but it was a well deserved treat before taking care of a 200 guest corporate event.

What’s the most popular cocktail in your city? “Shaft” for sure the popular late night choice.
Favourite thing about your city | Stampede is probably my favourite part being it brings in millions of people in for just 2 weeks.

Who is your favourite fictional bartender? I grew up watching the Simpsons so for sure Moe Szyslak is who I picture.
