One woman has a BA/BFA in jazz and liberal arts from the New School (NY), and an MA in music from SUNY Stony Brook. As a supertaster, college radio DJ, and PhD candidate, she is pouring her energy into the study of music, meaning, and malts at the University of California, Berkeley.
Over the past decade, she has been researching and documenting music in New York, Tokyo, and other places. She has also been sampling beers from the bodega on the corner of Lafayette Avenue and S. Elliot Pl. in Brooklyn, the pubs of San Francisco, New York, and Tokyo, to the tents at the Brussels Beer Weekend in Belgium.
