Pavel Niculita

First Season

Experienced hospitality professional with a strong track record across bar, floor, and high‑volume service environments. I bring structure, speed, and calm under pressure, keeping both guests and the team running smoothly. Looking for a season where I can add real value, elevate service standards, and be the person the team can rely on when it gets busy.

Alijah Jenkins

4–6 Seasons

I bring hands-on experience across multiple roles in the festival industry, including barbacking, ID checking, and working directly with vendors at large-scale, high-energy events. I enjoy staying adaptable, working efficiently under pressure, and being part of a team that keeps operations running smoothly. Most importantly, I love connecting with people from all walks of life and take pride in delivering top-tier customer service that enhances the overall guest experience.

I’m a fast, adaptable barista with solid experience working in high-pressure environments, especially festivals over the past few years. I’m confident handling long queues, staying consistent under pressure, and keeping service smooth even when things get hectic. Overall, I’m well suited to festival coffee work because I can balance speed with quality, adapt quickly to changing setups, and keep performance consistent in fast-moving, high-volume environments.

A great bartender with strong communication skills and good working under pressure. I focus on sales targets and legal serving.

Michelle Wiegand

7+ Seasons

I started working in merchandise and live events at 18 and now have 7+ seasons of experience, growing into roles where I run major festival merch operations like Coachella. I’m known for staying organized and efficient in fast paced, high volume environments while delivering strong customer service, backed by 10+ years as a barista and multiple water sports certifications. I stand out for my adaptability, reliability, and openness to growth, always ready to step into new roles.

Steadfast and growing within the industry I have lived growing up in almost all aspects and part of the live events industry where I have homed my skills and created a bustling pathway for myself, gaining my degree and on site experience getting stuck in and dirty and just perks of the job.
