About the author
Raised in the United States and later drawn to Europe, she moved from Paris to the Lake Geneva region in 1985. From there, she built an international career as a writer, journalist, editor, and publisher, contributing to outlets in several countries and focusing especially on wine, travel, and culture.
Her work is closely tied to Switzerland, where she has become known for making Swiss wine more approachable for English-language readers. She has written books including Vineglorious! Switzerland’s Wondrous World of Wines and Wine Hiking Switzerland, combining practical knowledge with a strong sense of landscape and local character.
Alongside her writing, she has also served as a judge at international wine competitions. That mix of reporting, firsthand exploration, and enthusiasm for regional stories gives her work an inviting, grounded feel.
