At the insane age of 17 I became pregnant with my first daughter.  I had always wanted to become a teacher, but needed a way to afford daycare to go to school, without working too many hours.  I found that bartending was the best way to make good deal of money while working just 1-2 days a week. 

After graduating with a degree in English education, I began teaching middle school.  A few years later I found that I was not happy teaching.  I think I was spoiled from years of bartending.  I always said, "I'd rather deal with alcoholics than adolescence."

This desire to return to the hospitality industry encouraged me to open up a bartending school to mix my talents together.  I absolutely love what I do--not too many people say that!
