Hello, I'm Khaidem.
I am an energetic bartender from Trinidad and Tobago, with a love for entertaining while making and serving cocktails. I try to create an pleasant and memorable experience for every customer.
Since I was 15 I have always worked in the culinary and hospitality business. I have worked in kitchens, which taught me to work hard and clean and to produce consistent quality. My work experience as promoter improved my communication skills and ability to interact with all kinds of personalities. However, I prefer to work as a bartender, where I get to interact with people and create a unique experience. As bartender I am very approachable, yet also know when to keep my distance. Besides working I have had the opportunity to represent my country being a taekwondo athlete. Since 2016 I have had the opportunity to train with the national team and compete all over the world. This experience has taught me a lot, mainly discipline and respect. I have always worked besides my training, so I have had to learn how to manage my time.
