After receiving my masters degree from Cornell University, I took the Sustainability Lead and Enologist role at Domaine Carneros by Taittinger in Napa Valley. I work on the winemaking team making high quality sparkling wines. As the sustainability lead, I run the company's sustainability initiatives including overseeing the installation of solar panels, running the company-wide composting program, running an in-house packaging reuse program, and starting single-use plastic recycling company-wide. Recently, I won the Napa RISE Leadership Award in Waste Prevention and Supply Chain where I gave a TED Talk style lecture on the power of reuse for mitigating supply chain disruptions. Through this program, we are able to divert 32,000 pounds of cardboard from the landfill and reduce our total packaging usage. We are able to reuse packing items up to five times before recycling the items. This program also led to a 63% savings in 2022, mostly due to covid related supply chain disruptions and increase costs of supplies.
