Bio
My love for wine began when I studied abroad in Spain as part of my Spanish language degree and attended a seminar about local wine. I'm a learner who devours information and constantly craves more. For years, my wine education consisted of single session classes with a limited focus on a single grape or region. I knew that I wanted more and in 2019, I discovered WSET certifications through Vine Lab Wine & Spirits Academy and I haven't turned back. As a lifelong student, I have the heart of a teacher. I want to share what I've learned, and seen, and done, and tasted with those around me. Through WSET levels 1, 2, and 3 as well as Spanish Wine Scholar and French Wine Scholar, I've unlocked the connection between two passions: wine and education. In my free time, I enjoy hammock camping with my husband, Jared, and two dogs, Frito and Booda. I'm an avid traveler, reader, theater-goer, and plant parent. I'm continuing my wine education journey with Italian Wine Scholar, hoping to complete the certification in 2023.
