She has dedicated her career to collaborating with the community leaders, organizations, non-profits and entrepreneurs that make this city so special. She was on the opening bar team at 21c and ran the bar program from 2013-2015. While at 21c she started a monthly cocktail class series entitled Sunday School that ran for 2 ½ years. She then moved on to Watershed Distillery as a brand ambassador and head of their Southern Ohio/Kentucky Sales Division.
