Have a listen to this magnetic, seasoned journalist who shares her thoughts on:⁣

  1. Why having real world experience both in the kitchen and behind the bar helped her break into journalism. 

  2. How her Wine Enthusiast colleagues have “encyclopedic” knowledge of all things beverage and a devotion to the craft of the space.

  3. How LinkedIn is a great platform for connecting with other people by sharing business content, but now also personal content, reflecting the merging of the two spheres.

  4. How becoming a source for her can be as simple as sending her an introductory email with links to your social media platforms.

  5. Why she thinks Greyston Bakery in Yonkers, N.Y., which does not require background checks of its employees, is moving hospitaily forward.
