I live for new experiences and connection, especially when it comes to wine and travel. My goal is to help people discover wine within their own context.

I hold the WSET Diploma in Wines & Spirits and Certified Sommelier certificates. I earned an MBA in Wine & Spirits Business from the Burgundy School of Business, MS in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis and BS in Chemical Engineering from Oklahoma State University.

I grew up in Albuquerque, NM, and started my professional career in Philadelphia. After spending three years in New York to complete wine studies and get my feet wet in the industry, I became a digital nomad. I drove around the US and traveled through South America & Europe while taking breaks when needed. In 2023, I finally took the plunge to focus on wine and now call Burgundy my home.
