I was born and raised in Norwalk CT and have worked with Ancona’s Wines since 2011.

I am an avid rock climber, guidebook app author, and expend a considerable dallop of my free time exploring esoteric nooks and crannies of the traprock ridgeline that bisects the state of CT. I also serve on the Board of Directors and lead fundraising at the Ragged Mountain Foundation—a Southington-based non-profit organization that protects the open spaces that are home to the highest quality climbing the state has to offer.

After studying prose at Sarah Lawrence College, I achieved my Sommelier Certification with the Sommelier Society of America, and again with the Court of Master Sommeliers. I've also completed my Advanced Level III with the Wine & Spirits Education Trust and am a Certified Wine Specialist with The Society of Wine Educators. Besides wine, I enjoy beer, am a certified Beer Server, and some of my favorite breweries include Watson Farmhouse, Fox Farm, and Mount Holly.
