As a bartender since 2009, Miranda has worked with beverage programs all over the world. Through many openings in Chicago, and currently as the Lifestyle Group’s Director of Beverage, she continues to push the industry forward and strives to build knowledge and foster positivity within the bartending community.
Miranda focuses energy on wellness within the workplace, working towards giving teams the tools to take care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. In 2021 alongside Hyatt, she launched the first nationally programmed non-alch menu in a major hotel chain. The award-winning Zero Proof Zero Judgment program thrives to this day, and she hopes it will continue to help destigmatize the conversation around mental health and addiction in the service industry and beyond.
Miranda is BAR Ready having passed the BAR 5-Day Exam in 2023, is WSET Level 2 Wine Certification, and Cicerone Certified. She has competed in multiple national competitions – her favorite of which is Speed Rack – and has been a member of prep teams for Tales of the Cocktail CAP program, and San Antonio Cocktail Conference. She has been a panelist and moderator for Tales of the cocktail, SACC, VIBE, Bar & Restaurant Expo, and Flavor Summit by CIA and looks forward to continuing work with these organizations in the future.
