Hello, I'm Emilie.
Friendly, creative bartender with a passion for managing, training and realizing excellent drinks
I've started my bartending journey in the UK, my first job behind a bar was as a bar staff in September 2019. I decided to start my EBS course in March 2020. But then... Corona Virus came around and BAM ! My course had to be put to an end before week 3. I mostly spent my lockdown training flair, memorising classic cocktails and creating my own drinks. In August I finally could finish my EBS course in Paris. Once my course was done, I moved to Abidjan, Ivory Coast to be part of a brand-new project ; Dycoco Comedy Club. Dycoco is a comedy club with 2 bars (beer & cocktail bar) and occasionally had parties. I started other there as the head bartender, after 3 months I was promoted as the bar manager. This experience developed a high standards concerning having the right attitude at work. I have a strict policy of no drinking and no drugs in the work place. Having to work and train the staff from a different culture than mine was an extraordinary experience that developed my tolerance concerning everyone beliefs and personalities. I love seeing an evolution in people. I have a strong passion for training young waiters/bartenders to developed their own skills.
