About Me:

Welcome to Elevated Beverage Training! I’m Halley Nelson, and I have over 20 years of experience in the service industry. I’ve worked with renowned establishments like The Melting Pot, Starbucks, and the iconic Grizzly Rose. Throughout my career, I’ve taken on various roles, from creating memorable guest experiences to mastering the intricacies of beverage service.

My passion for hospitality goes beyond serving; I also have a strong background in education, having worked both as a classroom teacher and a corporate trainer. This unique combination of industry knowledge and teaching experience enables me to deliver engaging, practical, and results-oriented training for beverage professionals at all levels.

At Elevated Beverage Training, my mission is to empower service industry teams with the knowledge and confidence to navigate Colorado’s liquor laws, ensuring compliance and promoting responsible beverage service. Through Responsible Vendor Training, I help businesses protect their licenses, safeguard their patrons, and create safer, more enjoyable environments for everyone.

Let’s raise the bar—responsibly!
