I founded SIPPLE in 2020. It's my brainchild born out of my lifelong love and passion of complex flavors and the stories behind them.

Having been born and raised on the cusp of Napa Valley, my keen obsession with fermentation and drinks grew over the years, leading me to spending the last 20 years working in all areas of the beverage industry from production to distribution to selling to buying. I created SIPPLE as a way of sharing my experience with more people.

I've been a storyteller since birth, whether it's discovering an unknown artist, musician, winemaker or functional beverage maker, and my heart is and will always be with the creator and the love behind the creation! 

From the makers to the movers and shakers, SIPPLE is an all-inclusive community for the alcohol-free movement first and foremost, no matter what your why is.

What are you drinking today for tomorrow?

I'm a #boozefreebabe on a mission to put non-alcoholic options into the hands of each and every single human who wants something different, something new, something rebellious, something sans booze. Out of this, I created Zero Proof Nation -- a national/international exploration of non-alc beverages across every category, people, places, and events (and Booze Free in DC, a local take on the booze-free and wellness culture in the Washington DC metro area).

When I'm not doing all of that or behind the By Volume mic, I'm either attempting to play roller derby, hanging with family/friends/myself,  listening to the full Beatles discography, or on a different kind of mic entirely: the karaoke kind. 🎤
