Wine industry professional with over 18 years’ experience across sales, brand development, hospitality, and international distribution.

I spent more than 14 years at Lourensford Wine Estate, progressing from Tasting Room Manager to Business Development Manager, where I worked extensively with international markets, exports, trade tastings, events, and brand growth across the Lourensford and APB wine portfolios.

Well-travelled, commercially minded, and driven by a genuine passion for wine, people, and storytelling. Recently concluded my journey at Lourensford and now open to new opportunities where experience, creativity, and industry insight can add real value.
