Hello, I'm Jesse.
A friendly, adventurous and professional bartender from UK, I am confident interacting with all sorts of people and excited to work as part of a bar team and develop my skills, learn new flavour combinations and meet new people.
I have been making cocktails for friends, inventing new ones, brewing wines and making liqueurs for years, experimenting with flavours that interest me and tailoring cocktails to my friends' requests, and now armed with knowledge and skills from my EBS course I am excited to keep developing my cocktail making skills. My various past roles in different areas have given me a broad range of experience and I enjoyed the variety, the challenges and especially meeting all sorts of people and learning from and sometimes teaching them. I especially enjoyed learning about hydroponics and learning from the experienced teachers in the school I taught in, and talking with people from all around the world in the games I host. I look forward to meeting to all sorts of people when I bartend in future.
