After completing her Masters in Tourism, Kasia Konys-Pieszko moved to the Channel Islands, having far too much adrenaline to stay in her hometown. Nine years ago she joined the award-winning Dunell’s Premier Wines, working closely with their on-trade customers and buying for all three outlets in Jersey.

“I jump out of bed with a smile on my face because every day brings new and exciting challenges,” she says. “This is far more than just a job!” As an enthusiastic food geek, she is very grateful for living in the Channel Islands where there is access to so much fresh produce and many excellent restaurants.

After work - if she is not immersed in studying for her WSET Diploma – you can find her on the beach playing with her little ones or travelling to fascinating places where she combines a holiday with visiting vineyards and experiencing the local cuisine.
