Hospitality Director, McEvoy Ranch

SPOTLIGHT

Emily Ash Lamb grew up in the best kitchens in Sonoma County and learned about food and wine from great chefs like her dad, John Ash. After graduation, when it came time to work, she pursued her dream of being a performer in LA and NYC. Like many budding performers, she also worked in restaurants to cover her expenses. Ultimately, she decided she was happiest while working in hospitality. For Emily, the best hospitality is like a choreographed experience, with the set, actors, and fare in perfect harmony. As Director of Hospitality at McEvoy Ranch, she will show you what that's like. Here's her story.
