, our General Manager and Wine Director, brings a strong, commanding presence and genuine warmth to Oriole.

Raised in Indianapolis, she began her path in the wine industry there before moving to Chicago to pursue Michelin-level hospitality.

Years later, that pursuit led her to Oriole, where she continues to shape the experience with clarity, care, and intention.

Her approach is thoughtful and deeply human, and her wine program reflects the same philosophy—focused, expressive, and grounded in a sense of place.
