She currently bartends at The Let's Go Disco & Cocktail Club. Her career in hospitality, though she didn't know it would become a career at the time, began over twenty years ago. From dish, to busser, to host, door gal, server, cater waiter, barback and on, she has done a little of it all along the way. Needless to say, her back often hurts, but she still loves working in service so she keeps showing up. Over the last ten years, her experience has grown to include bar management, beverage programming, consulting, spirits judging & a lot of drink-slinging throughout East LA, Chinatown, the LA Arts District and Hollywood. Ash has a great love for the LA bar scene and the truly wonderful community that comes with it. She became a member of the USBG & part of the board in the hopes of finding ways to further strengthen and celebrate the connections, creativity and craft within her chapter. Volunteering with the USBG SoCal's "Project Cornerstore", which provided out-of-work hospitality workers with food and essentials during the height of the Covid shutdown, solidified her belief in the importance of the Guild's efforts. It is her goal to support initiatives that positively impact the talents and hearts behind the hospitality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e35d90be90ae46e75c14d60/022cdcd7-ebd1-476f-97ce-b8d075a541e4/Cedd.jpg Team - CEDD MOSES BOARD MEMBER Cedd Moses is the Chief Vision Officer and Founder of Pouring with Heart, a hospitality company that operates 25 bars, historic restaurants, and beer halls in Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, and Denver.
