Summary
After a career in Law and Public Management, I followed my passion for wine and gastronomy, transitioning into the wine industry through advanced training and professional experience. I earned multiple certifications with WSET and AIS and worked as a professional sommelier in Italy, developing strong competencies in wine curation, food and wine pairing, geographical indications, and international labeling. Now based in Tulsa, OK, I am seeking to build a career in the wine import and export sector, leveraging my international background and industry expertise.
