Learning and tasting as much as i can during my young adult hood

Life-long learner.
New to the wine industry.
Love wine and food pairings.

I came to wine sideways. My first degree was in telecom engineering, and my first love was tea — I grew up with it, in a family where taste was something you paid attention to. Wine found me later, and it asked the same questions tea did: why does a place taste like itself? I still don't have a full answer. That's mostly why I'm still here.
For the past six years I've been learning to make wine at Niagara College's Teaching Winery, where I also teach — which mostly means learning in public. I teach the World of Wine program at UofT as well, taste for VQA Ontario. After DipWSET, I am slowly unfolding te journey of Master of Wine, which I'm approaching the way I approach everything: over-prepared and slightly nervous.
I share my passion to wine and tea through Similar Minds, a small tasting community in Toronto and Niagara. If you want to compare notes over a glass or a cup, I'm easy to find.

I am new to Canada and eager to start my journey in the industry.

I have over six years of experience in Learning & Development, specializing in training, onboarding, and customer education across technology and customer experience environments. Throughout my career, I've designed and delivered engaging training programs, led large-scale software implementations, and helped teams build confidence in new systems and processes.

Outside of my corporate career, I founded Wine.Eh, an inclusive wine community focused on making wine more approachable through educational events, winery experiences, and travel. This passion has inspired me to continue expanding my wine knowledge through formal education.

I hold a diploma in Business Administration and am currently pursuing my WSET education to deepen my understanding of wine and better serve my community through accessible, engaging wine education.

Wine has become the intersection of my curiosity, hospitality, and lifelong pursuit of learning. Now a Sommelier at Enigma, my journey has taken me from restaurant management across British Columbia and Nova Scotia to the dining room at Mystic in Halifax. After earning WSET Level 3, I transitioned to the Court of Master Sommeliers pathway and am currently working toward the Certified Sommelier credential.

Wine enthusiastic, any knowledge about wine is interesting especially when they have a story behind it as well as love for wine making,
I started as WSET2 and 3, right after I am currently enrolled to the "Certified Sommelier Program". The program is very different and a lot of new perspective (Loving it). Currently working in retail wine industry, recommending wine to customers for day-to-day lunch and dinner and gits too as well as we do enhance wine tasting. I hope I can keep pursuing more wine knowledge in the future.

I am proud to be one of the first Metis Sommelier and Wine consultant. The wine industry has provided a foundation in which to support my daughters.
