Membership Engagement Coordinator

I started with the Brewers Association in 2014. My goal is to engage with as many members as possible, help them maximize their membership benefits, and act as the resident resource-Sherpa to assist in navigating through the mountain of information.

In my free time I like to sip on IPAs and pilsners while playing bass loudly or petting my dogs. I openly welcome pup-pictures and all heavy/loud/noisy music suggestions.
