Born and raised in Palo Alto, California, I ventured across the bay to attend U.C. Berkeley, graduating with a degree in Communications & Public Policy.   After dabbling in the fashion industry and then returning to school to earn a Hotel & Restaurant Management degree from San Francisco City College, I followed my dream of working in the baking and chocolatier business.    Ultimately I traded in my white apron for a suit to work in hotel sales & marketing in San Francisco for the Four Seasons Hotel and the Mark Hopkins Inter-Continental.    This career eventually led me to the Napa Valley where I was employed by Meadowood Resort for several years as Director of Sales & Marketing.    Meeting Randy as my neighbor in Yountville changed my life in more ways than one.  I now have the fun job of overseeing the marketing, public relations and sales for Mason Cellars.  With our move to the Oxbow neighborhood I had the creative challenge of designing and setting up our Mason Cellars Tasting Room – my project that I currently oversee.

Randy and I have three wonderful daughters and three furry dogs.   At home I love to cook and bake, run with the dogs and drive a lot with my ballet dancing daughter, Olivia.
