Alice is a Certified WSET and Vinitaly Italian Wine Educator at HKU SPACE. Her wine journey can be traced back to the early 2000s in New York City when she started her WSET education. Shortly after her relocation to Hong Kong in 2013, she obtained her Level 4 Diploma. Her involvement in the wine industry is multifold, including wine education, consultation, communication, event management, and judging. To fulfill her passion in Italian wines, she undertook the prestigious Vinitaly International Academy Italian Wine Ambassador Program and became the first batch of graduates of the enhanced version in 2018. Currently, Alice is the Deputy Master of the Cavalieri del Tartufo e dei Vini di Alba – Hong Kong Delegation, and the Vice Chair of the Food & Beverage Committee of The American Club Hong Kong.
