Welcome, have a look around!

I started my professional life teaching and pursuing a career in geology and field geochemistry research. As a lover of craft beverages, after much soul searching, I decided to shift gears and pursue a career in the craft alcohol industry. 

Experiencing and learning about different local craft producers eventually spurred my interest in cocktails and craft bartending. After polishing my hospitality and bartending skills through positions at Far From the Tree Cider, Opus in Salem, and two premiere craft cocktail and beer bars at Encore Boston Harbor, I landed my dream job at The Speakeasy Lab at Deacon Giles Distillery. I took over and began developing the beverage program for my favorite distillery. At Deacon Giles, I am able to marry my passion for local craft spirits with my background in science, while taking my cocktail skills in new and interesting directions!
