Being born and raised here in Walla Walla left me with fond memories of running around wineries and vineyards as a kid. It feels like a natural progression for me to find myself doing winery work after 10 years in the service industry. I spend my personal time finding neat river rocks throughout the PNW, or at home playing video games with my cats.

DRINK OF CHOICE

My drink of choice is a hot jasmine tea on weeknights, but I prefer a paper plane on the weekends.

MUSIC OF CHOICE

If I'm not listening to an audiobook, I probably have Tame Impala on in my headphones or Subtronics blowing out my car speakers. My PTO is largely used for festivals.

HOW WOULD YOU BEST DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A WINE TASTER?

I am the type of wine taster that's always looking for something to pair with an artisan cheese!

ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO CLIMB THE HILL NEXT TO THE TASTING ROOM?

I am 10/10 likely to race anyone up the the hill next to the tasting room and 12/10 likely to roll back down.

IF YOU WERE AN ECHOLANDS WINE, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?

If I were an Echolands wine, I would be the Riesling Ice Wine because I'm very sweet but kind of intense.

WHAT IS YOUR SKI/SNOWBOARDING PROWESS?

My skiing prowess leaves a lot to be desired. I'm a green-run girly just happy to have a good time, you'll catch me après with a drink in hand at Bluewood or Schweitzer.
