I was born and raised in wine country, where I quickly discovered a love for working in the hospitality industry at a young age. I had the opportunity to work my way up through several highly acclaimed restaurants before moving to San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles, where I continued to work for and manage some of the top restaurants and hotels. I recently finished my tenure with Farmhouse Inn, a luxury boutique hotel here in Sonoma County. Due to my years of experience in the hospitality industry, I bring a unique perspective and level of expertise. I see through the eyes of every position I have held over the years. I love capturing the art of food, design, architecture, and the personalities that make up this incredibly talent-filled hospitality arena.
