I graduated from American University in Washington, D.C. where I earned an interdisciplinary degree in Communications, Law, Economics and Government (CLEG). I was elected Student Body President my Junior year. In addition to my studies and weekend shenanigans, I interned at the White House (Clinton), two members of Congress, the Sec. of State of Missouri and The Late Show with David Letterman. Upon graduation, I immediately put my degree to good use by moving to Los Angeles and embarking on a career in film and television. I spent the first few years working in feature film development for producers Verna Harrah and Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, S.A.L.T., G.I. Joe) at Paramount Pictures. Tired of telling writers what to write, I picked up a pen and eventually became a Writers' Assistant, and contributing writer, on shows that included ABC's Brothers & Sisters, Six Degrees and No Ordinary Family. Over the years, I developed a deep passion for wine. Then tired of being a writer told what to write, I listened to a few smart people and turned my passion into a career marketing and selling wine in Los Angeles. In 2012, I joined Vintage Wine Marketing as a sales rep covering West Los Angeles. VWM specializes in selling wines from CA and around the world. In 2013, I became their Regional Manager of Southern California.In 2013, I joined Burke Wine Brokerage as their Los Angeles sales rep. Burke is a collective of talented, young winemakers from the Central Coast. Our labels include - Field Recordings, Herman Story, Sans Liege, Groundwork, Desparada, Fiction and more. In 2015, I also joined Mission Wine Merchants as a sales manager in Los Angeles. In 2021, I joined the Los Angeles sales team for Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.
