🫒 Olive Oil Sommelier | Educator | ✨ Storyteller

Around here, life is best enjoyed a little slower—preferably with good food, good company, and a splash of extra virgin olive oil.

Through The Barefoot Olive, I host guided olive oil tastings, Mediterranean lifestyle workshops, and private gatherings that bring people together through flavor, conversation, and discovery. As a certified olive oil sommelier, I help guests explore the stories, traditions, and simple pleasures behind one of the world’s most remarkable foods.

Whether we’re exploring olive oils from different regions, talking about the Mediterranean diet, or simply enjoying a few bites with friends, my goal is to make learning approachable, engaging, and fun. No culinary degree required—just curiosity and an appetite.

After a career spent storytelling, teaching, designing, and creating, I’ve found my happy place helping others taste, learn, and connect through food.

So kick off your shoes, pour a little olive oil, and stay awhile.
