Over the course of almost two decades, I have become one of the most versatile and experienced winemakers in the industry. I hold a Bachelors from Cornell University in Viticulture.  In 2017 , I achieved the title of Master of Wine and was the first female winemaker in the US to do so. 

I have worked with some of the best vineyards in the world including significant time in the iconic To Kalon vineyard while working as the Senior Director of Winemaking for Robert Mondavi Winery in Oakville, CA.  While there I crafted the #6 wine of 2022 for Wine Spectator’s top 100 list. I have been named to Wine Enthusiast’s Top 40 under 40 list and have had numerous 90+ scoring wines from both coasts.

I support women in wine and have founded three female-owned wine brands; Trestle Thirty One and Snowshell Vineyards from the Finger Lakes and Fiadh Ruadh (Fay-ah Roo-ah) in Napa, CA.  I currently go back and forth between Napa and the Finger Lakes to manage both projects and several consulting clients as a true “flying winemaker”.
