Director of Lab Operations: Yeast Rancher & Microbe Hunter
How did you get your start at Jackie O’s?
In June 2011 as a student desperate for a job in my new hometown of Athens, I was lucky to be hired as a hostess uptown right before Ohio Brew Week that year. I then began serving food and eventually slinging drinks. I knew nothing about beer when I started at Jackie O’s, but as I learned more about beer at work, and chemical engineering in school, I became interested in beer science and production. Graduation timed out well with Jackie O’s expansion, and my dream of being a beer scientist came true in 2015. #noragrets
