I’ve spent my career at the intersection of service, storytelling, and a really good glass of wine. For two decades, I navigated the worlds of law, government, and nonprofit work, helping communities find their voice and influence real change. Along the way, I discovered that the most powerful conversations rarely happen in boardrooms; they happen where people feel seen, heard, and connected.

Wine is one of those kinds of spaces for me. A bottle isn’t just fermented grapes - it’s a story of soil, struggle, and season. Every vintage carries lessons about patience, timing, and transformation. Those same lessons show up in our careers and our lives: the dormant seasons that feel like nothing is happening, the slow and sometimes messy work of growth, and the thrill of finally uncorking something extraordinary.

Today, as The Storytelling Sommelier, I help people and organizations tap into that same magic. Whether I’m on stage, in a workshop, or behind the bar, my goal is the same: to help you share your story with confidence and heart, so your impact lingers long after the last sip.
