About me

Custom Text Highlight

Thank you for reaching my portfolio. I am available for the 2025 harvest and look forward to working alongside passionate wine lovers. I have experience in many harvests. I grew up in a viticultural region where grapes are an integral part of our lives. I continuously enhance my knowledge through seminars. I am also practicing with the Le Nez Du Vin aroma kit. Additionally, I possess professional graphic design and coding skills that could be valuable in the wine industry. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.

    Service

    In Action

    I frequently encounter stressful situations in wineries, especially during harvest. This requires a deep understanding of what is at stake during this period and the ability to not take it personally. I have a strong inclination to measure tasks in terms of time, although it can sometimes be challenging to organize all the cables and equipment. In addition I can easily work with a team and I excel in providing personal services to costumers.
