Hello, I'm Michael.
I'm an energetic, outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people and creating a great atmosphere. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love delivering great customer service.
Alongside completing my International Bartender Course at the European Bartender School, I worked in a busy bar while finishing my undergraduate degree and later built a career as a financial analyst. These experiences taught me to stay calm under pressure, communicate confidently with people from all backgrounds, and maintain a high level of professionalism. I'm reliable, hardworking, quick to learn, and genuinely enjoy working in busy, customer-focused environments where no two shifts are the same.
