I live in Dijon, France and I am currently pursuing my MBA in Wine and Spirits Business. I am a certified nominated educator for WSET (wine and spirits education trust) and currently hold the WSET Diploma (level 4). Over the years I have worked in various facets of the wine industry, including sales, management, service, production, marketing, tourism, and events. I also had the incredible opportunity to be a wine tourism intern for a summer in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux, France.

As well as coaching blind tasting, I teach for the Traverse Wine Institute, and host wine events. I am passionate about creating memorable experiences for novices, enthusiasts, and experts, alike. I believe wine is the perfect way to connect to one another, through stories, food, and culture.

If I am not sipping or studying wine you will find me in the garden trying to grow plants, dining al fresco, traveling the world, or walking my sweet little Scottish terrier, Archie.
