Kimberly Cornett, Director Operations, holds a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Davis and received her Bachelor of Science degree from Harvey Mudd College, graduating with Honors in Engineering and a dual-major of Government from Claremont McKenna College. Miss Cornett performed her graduate research in the field of Optical Microelectromechanical Systems (Optical MEMS), Miniature Variable Optical Delay Lines Using Silicon Micromachined Resonant-Scanning Mirrors for applications including Optical Coherence Tomography and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Prior work includes the Thomas J. Watson, Jr. Fellowship year of independent study, dedicated to the Engineering Aspects of Winemaking in Europe and Irrigation Techniques in Israel. Miss Cornett studied bulk weather stations in both France and Germany. In Israel, she studied the utilization of different irrigational systems to control vine vigor, canopy development, and the rate of ripening. This gives Miss Cornett a truly international understanding of today's grape farmers, which culminates from hands-on training at her family's vineyard in Mendocino County under the tutelage of her Grandfather Billy Cornett, former President of the Mendocino Farm Bureau. |
