What should we know about you?
When I’m behind the bar I like to create a space where everyone feels welcome and we’ll have a lot of laughs. I’m a sporty lez working at a gay sports bar… no matter what’s going on it’s always a fun time.

Hidden Talent?
I can quote every word to the hit 1964 blockbuster, Mary Poppins.

Bartending Pet Peeve?
When strangers come up to order a drink and then ask me invasive questions in a pronoun panic. 

Craziest Thing You’ve Witnessed?
When straight men try to hit on me. lol!

Single Ready to Mingle?
I guess folks’ll just have to ask me to find out! ;)

Give Some Advice.
If you see a drag entertainer in line for a drink at a show, please let them go first. They might need to perform soon and plus they work hard, putting themselves out there for the community.

What should we know about you?
I’m in a constant battle with finding balance between health & wellness and my love for cocktails & baked goods. I recently became the AGM of LUSH! My LUSH fam has made Minneapolis feel like home again after being away in Arizona for 4 years. 

Hidden Talent?
I’m really good at finding “healthy” alternatives for foods I love indulging in. *insert Kim Kardashian “Not bad for a girl with no talent” meme*

Bartending Pet Peeve?
People wanting to pay for their shots individually. Someone just buy the round & y’all can figure out your Venmo situation later. 

Craziest Thing You’ve Witnessed?
When I was a kid, I was jet skiing with my dad & someone else tried to splash us with their jet ski & the other jet ski landed on my dads leg. His leg was completely flipped over. Terrifying.

Single Ready to Mingle?
I’m mingling with one person & I’m excited to see where it goes.

Give Some Advice.
Be present with the people in front of you over the people on your phone screen.
