About Me:

A farmer's daughter from Wisconsin I transplanted to the northwest over 15 years ago to pursue a career as a high school marketing teacher. After 10 years of teaching and obtaining my MBA I decided to take on my love of coffee in a barista role for a local roaster, I then worked my way up to become the Marketing Manager in 2006. As a mom, I am now working for the esteemed publication Imbibe Magazine. I also teach a program for low income men & women to open their own small business which is very rewarding. I live in Olympia with my biologist/mixologist husband Brant, my son Brolin and two dogs Rookie & Frida.

About My Company:

Imbibe readers are young, upwardly mobile and culturally minded. They are active people who enjoy drinking, dining, cooking, traveling and entertaining, and they appreciate—and regularly purchase—all specialty drinks, from wine and spirits to coffee and tea.
