I am a vivacious and knowledgeable wine enthusiast with a flair for making the sophisticated world of wine both fun and accessible. With three years of hands-on experience as a wine sales and hospitality host, I have honed my expertise in the field, not through formal training, but through a passionate, self-taught journey.

My journey into the world of wine was ignited by an eclectic mix of documentaries, YouTube videos, podcasts, and books. This passion led me to explore the renowned vineyards of Napa and participate in numerous wine tastings, deepening my understanding and love for the art of winemaking.

Driven by the desire to fill a niche in the wine industry, particularly in championing diversity and inclusivity, I embarked on writing “Sip Happens.” This mission became more personal and poignant following the loss of my father to ALS, in January of 2023, fueling me to create a platform that welcomes all, regardless of background, into the enriching world of wine.

Outside the vineyard, I enjoy a dynamic and active lifestyle, including basketball, working out, golf, and spending quality time with family. These diverse interests contribute to my approachable and understanding nature, reflected in my writing style.

In “Sip Happens: A Crash Course for Gen Z & Millennials,” I bring a fresh, entertaining perspective to wine education. My fun and engaging approach breaks down the barriers often associated with wine culture, inviting a new generation of enthusiasts to explore, enjoy, and embrace the diverse world of wine.
