Experience

Kourtney grew up in the damp suburbs of Portland, Oregon where she perfected a Ghost World-like affectation into her early 20s when she realized she was a goofball at heart and no longer stored the energy to subdue it. Since then she's been bouncing around every angle of the service scene including stints as a fry cook, barista, waitress, and now wine director. Find her three days a week working the Han Oak floor, and the other four haunting local wine bars, steak houses, and private karaoke rooms until she's politely asked to go home.
