HI I really love beer.  That’s where all of this begins. But just like the history of beer itself, the path that brought me here is layered and complex. Before entering the beverage world, I spent years studying history — especially archaeology — exploring how the material record tells the story of who we are.

​

Beer is one of humanity’s oldest companions. It has shaped trade, religion, celebration, survival, and community. I’m fascinated by the role it plays not just in our glasses, but in our collective identity. To me, beer is more than a drink: it’s evidence. It’s heritage. It’s connection. It's culture. 

​

I am a Certified Cicerone, which means I really, really nerd out about beer. 

 

I am the co-founder of a charitable organization in the USA and Canada that helps support women in the beer industry, called the Beer Babes Family. Visit our website here.

On a day to day basis, you can find me teaching Beer School, beerslinging, running events, and creating marketing content at Bone Haus Brewing in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Are you local to Phoenix? Click here to come to beer school at Bone Haus! I teach the second Tuesday of each month. I also do private Beer School events, as well as consultations in beer education for restaurants, taprooms and breweries.
