Hi, I’m Tina—the owner and chief bartender of BoozeHound Mobile Bar. My journey in the hospitality industry started over 21 years ago as a dishwasher in my hometown restaurant.

Through my twenties, I bartended my way through college — and even as I explored other paths like personal training, event planning, working in veterinary offices, and even running a balloon business, I always found my way back behind the bar.

I’ve worked everywhere — from mom-and-pop taverns and dive bars to nightclubs, fine dining, and full-scale catering events. I’ve lived on both coasts and plenty of places in between, but one thing has always stayed the same: the connection, laughter, and memories that happen when people gather around a drink. Whether it’s a simple beer or a perfectly crafted cocktail, that shared moment is what I love most.

I believe the bartender is the heartbeat behind the bar — the one who sets the tone, brings the energy, and turns a drink into an experience.

Beyond BoozeHound, I’m passionate about travel, animals, and anything outdoors. My long-term dream is to open an animal rescue and use my pilot’s license to help transport animals in need to their forever homes. For now, I foster dogs here in North Carolina and continue to advocate for rescue, adoption, and spay-and-neuter efforts.

Every pour tells a story, and mine is about bringing people together, celebrating life's best moments, and giving back to the animals who make our world better.
