I studied at Bishop’s University for both my undergrad in chemistry and my master certificate of science of brewing. After a couple years of living the lab rat life, I wanted more from my workdays and dreamed to find a job in the mountains. At that moment, I realized I could still use my science background and explore the craft beer industry. There is most likely a brewery in a fun town with great outdoors for all my hobbies! I was always passionate about craft beer before changing career. I was lucky enough to go to university where one of the first craft breweries was located.

If I had to pick my favourite style of beer to drink, I would have to say a porter/stout but I’m always a sucker for a great sour on the patio. However, I don’t discriminate against the other style of beers! I love to be able to play around with the ingredients and create all the different beers. It's always exciting to brew a new beer, however my favourite beer to brew at Banff Ave Brewing Co is the Mt. Rundle Stout - who doesn’t want to start the day with the smell of roast coffee and rich cocoa?
