I was born and raised in Napa, CA and have worked in the wine industry since 2004, in a variety of positions (most memorable job-driving a John Deere 5400, open cab tractor at 2 am all summer long, spraying pesticides..awesome). I've been with Dalla Terra since 2006. I took a brief sabatical in 2008 to return to school to finish my Nursing degree, which I'm still currently working on full-time, while working at Dalla Terra part-time. I enjoy the wine industry, but I love medicine, so I decided I needed to follow my passion. In the meantime, I feel very lucky to work with such wonderful people in such a fun industry! Cheers!
