Occupation wine store owner/manager
Location Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
Introduction I am currently living in Fredericksburg as part owner and Manager at kybecca. I grew up in Virginia and south Georgia. I attended the University of Virginia and graduated in 2000. I lived in Charlottesville for a time and got a job teaching and as an office manager for Kaplan Test Prep. In January 2004 I moved to London to take a new job with Kaplan as the Academic Coordinator (basically head teacher) at their London office. After living as an expat for three years I moved back to Virginia and started working with my sister, Rebecca, and brother-in-law Kyle here at kybecca wine and gourmet. My previous job gave me the teaching and public speaking skills that I now use to do wine seminars. And now that I've got the travel bug out of me for a while I'm happy working and relaxing right here in Fredericksburg.
