I have always loved to entertain. My favorite memories of my grandparents were going out to eat with them and the parties they would host.

They taught me that when you go out or throw a party to relax and enjoy yourself. Dinners out would be a few hours long and included great conversations. Grandma taught me to be prepared and make sure the bar was stocked. Even as a little girl, I wanted to help with all of the details.

Of course they taught me so much more, but these things I believe are the reason I love bartending and events. It's a perfect way to bring families, friends and even strangers together.
