Award-Winning Career Food & Beverage Storyteller with a passion for Hospitality

Last updated: 8/28/24

Experienced in food and thriving in beverage.

With nearly 2 decades of experience in food and beverage, I have worked in nearly aspect of the industry from coffee shops to hotels, bars, retail shops, food tour companies, and everything in between. I have managed teams, produced events, curated menus, created content, educated groups, planned budgets, written in the voice of others as well as my own, and most importantly made lasting memories and contacts throughout.

Since beginning my journey to attain my Certification as a Specialist in Spirits, I've been embraced by my fellow beverage professionals in a way that's been refreshing and validating. In November 2021, I began working at 67 Wine and Spirits as a Salesperson and by the end of August 2022, I was put in charge of buying New York State Wines. In less than 6 months, my efforts were recognized by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, and on March 28th, I received the Unity Retailer Award for the work I've done in trying to educate and excite my customers about all the great wines that come from my home state.

By the time I departed the store, I was responsible for all wines from North America(outside of CA, WA, and OR), Cocktail Bitters from around the world, and I worked with my colleagues in charge of other sections to bring in wines from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and Female Vintners from around the world.

I completed my CSW certification in October of 2023, just a few months after joining Team Corkbuzz at Chelsea Market as the General Manager. And I'm proud to have been a part of the 2023 class of Finger Lakes Riesling Bootcamp. I am excited about the future of my career and am open to all the possibilities out there.
