Where are you from originally? 
Los Angeles, CA 

What brought you to UC Davis? 
I knew I wanted to learn everything there is to know about wine and Davis is the best place to start! The program is well-rounded, and I love learning about the reasoning behind important decisions in the winery.  

What do you enjoy the most about studying in this program? 
All of the faculty and staff have been so helpful in creating an awesome learning experience and involving the students in the program. 

Have you interned at a winery/vineyard management company?  If so, tell us about your experience. 
I worked at J. Christopher Wines in Newberg, Oregon for 3 years before coming to Davis. I had an amazing time learning through various positions and it really cemented my love for the wine industry.  

What are your plans after you graduate? 
I'm planning to go back to Oregon and hopefully become an Enologist and also get ready for harvest. 

What is one unique thing about you? 
Most of my family has been in the agriculture or grocery business so wine feels like a natural extension of the family business.
