Vanessa has spent nearly 20 years in the Food and Beverage industry, spanning small local restaurants to high end 5-star / 4 Diamond resorts. With a background as a Mixologist and Restaurant Manager, she pours her heart into every recipe, client, and event. She has a passion for sustainability and believes that this industry could make an incredibly large impact on the planet if we simply created less trash, and turned to composting - which is exactly what Benefit Bar does!

She has been able to tend bar at an array of restaurants and venues - dive bars, fine dining, hotels, the Waste Management Open, concerts, and more. She loves bartending private events because she's able to join in the celebration and be part of our client’s special moments. No matter where she is in life, she will always be a bartender at heart, which is how she came to join us at Benefit Bar! She always says, 'You can take the girl out of the bar but you can’t take the bar out the girl!'
