About Me

I guess you can say I was born into this business. My father's family has owned pubs in London for generations, and my mother was the accounting department for a restaurant supply company for almost 40 years. I grew up outside of Boston after my British parents moved to the United States, surrounded by antique barware and memorabilia from my father's pubs. After graduating from Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, I started working in hotel management. My career took a turn for two decades as I worked on the equity side of affordable housing. After raising three wonderful children, I tried to figure out my next steps. I have always loved antiques and already frequented antique auctions and estate sales. Noticing the resurgence of cocktails, I decided to marry my love of antiques and my personal background in barware and the Bar Top Shop was born.
