"I grew-up in the wine and tourism business, literally. At six years old, I remember helping my parents plant their vineyard in Connecticut and at fourteen, I gave tours to visitors at our winery in Colorado. After college, I managed our Connecticut winery and vineyard and was instrumental in propelling the Connecticut Wine Trail forward for over 10 years. Coming to Finger Lakes Wine Country has been a dream come true. I feel inspired everyday helping promote one of the most beautiful and interesting places in the world. In my free time, I enjoy wine tasting (of course), traveling, and spending time with my husband and three baseball-loving sons." Team member since February 2007 and holds a B.A. in English and Secondary Education from Boston College.

"I always took growing up in Finger Lakes Wine Country for granted. It wasn’t until I moved away that I realized what I’d left behind. A classic case of “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone”. Although it was always my dream to work in New York City, it was after I decided to move back home that I truly put my knowledge to work and actually enjoyed it. I handle the marketing programs and media relations here and love it. I am the ever-optimistic, bubbly type and a redhead to boot (you do the math). Outside of work I love shopping for a good deal, going to the movies, spending time with family, and will never turn down pizza or ice cream. Best part of my job? I fall in love with this region I call home all over again every single day." Team member since January 2008 and holds a B.S. in Communications, with a concentration in Public Relations, and a B.A. in Psychology from SUNY Fredonia.

"In my position, I am responsible for developing, implementing, and managing e-marketing initiatives. This includes writing and designing content for the Web, e-mail campaigns, advertisements, blogs, and social media communications. I previously held communication positions at Corning Incorporated, Talisman Energy U.S.A., and WENY-TV News Channel 36. I am very proud to be a lifelong resident of the beautiful Finger Lakes region. With my husband and two dogs, I share a love for traveling, photography, and practically everything that involves taking in the great outdoors. Without a doubt, I am a typical Pisces… creative, a good listener and I always have a thirst for knowledge." Team member since February 2010 and holds a B.S. from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in Mass Communications.

"I’ve been in the not-for-profit world for many years. Previously I held several positions at the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce. I graduated from the Institute of Organization Management (I attended at the University of Notre Dame). I love helping people, whether they are my co-workers or our wonderful visitors. My personal world revolves around my two grandsons; they are the cutest and smartest! I have just completed a year as president of Chemung Sunrise Rotary Club. And I sing in our church choir." Team member since August 2000.

"I stumbled into the wine industry about three year ago and fell in love! I never realized how big the wine industry in the Finger Lakes was until I started working part time in the tasting room at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards. My tasting room position lead to a Marketing position and that sparked my interest in the wine world. Now, I am currently working as the Program Manager for the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance and get to spread my love for the region and its wineries nationally (and world- wide someday). I am honored to work in such an amazing region that continues to flourish every day. In my free time I like to shop (some say it’s an addiction), go wine tasting, play softball, and my favorite thing of all: spend time with my two sisters (best friends), my loving parents, and the family dog Emma Jean (White Golden Retriever, so cute!)." Team member since January 2012 and holds a M.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing from Rochester Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Keuka College.
