My most recent position of employment spanned nearly a decade at Appalachian Vintner, a specialty beer and wine store located in the Biltmore Village area in Asheville, North Carolina. Prior to working here, I spent several years working with the general public in positions ranging all the way from personal engraving to working with adults recovering from substance abuse with mental health disorders. After graduating high school, I moved here to Asheville where I studied at UNCA and obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.
