Hayden Dickson
Summary
I am an experienced bartender with a passion for creating cocktails that are an experience for the patron. I love when people have a great time in the venue, so I always take the time to try and connect with customers and bring high quality service. I am also studying mathematics, so I value an organised barspace, to maximise efficiency and hygiene. My work in nightclubs has also helped with high volume stressful situations, so I keep calm during the high pressure rushes in bars/restaurants.
