I love me some pub grub, and Memphis Taproom will always have a special place in my heart. But I get excited about Charlie was a sinner. (I'm vegetarian) I want to eat everything from their menu.

How did you end up in your industry?

How did you end up in your industry?

I came from a completely different place - I worked in the mental health field prior to opening Love City Brewing. Kevin, my husband and business partner, worked for another brewery, so I already loved craft beer. And then we took the leap into our own thing! My path is definitely not the norm, but I use my therapist skills every day. So much of owning and running a business is about communicating clearly and helping people feel heard.

A building for our brewery! We don't own the bricks, and now I'm seeing how important that can be.

Favorite activity to pass time when you're not working?

Favorite activity to pass time when you're not working?

Physical activity: rollerskating! I am into dance skating and it's so much fun. Stationary activity: knitting and crochet. I love having something to do with my hands.

Who is someone you admire right now?

Who is someone you admire right now?

I am always in awe of Margaux Murphy of the Sunday Love Project. She's been feeding people on Kensington Ave for years, and now she's opening a free-choice food pantry. One of the most giving people I have ever met!
