Her exceptional efforts will help continue the successful implementation of our sustainable winegrowing program and contribute to other environmental issues at Wine Institute."

Previously, she was a senior associate at SureHarvest, a sustainable agriculture and natural resources consulting firm, and served as vice president and acting executive director of Resource Renewal Institute, a non-governmental environmental organization. Since 2001, she has been a fellow in the German Marshall Fund's American Marshall Memorial Fellowship program. She holds a master's degree from the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley and a bachelor of arts in Psychology from Allegheny College in Meadville, PA.
