She’s a Mississippi girl at heart — raised under wide Southern skies where hospitality is a way of life and every gathering feels like a celebration. Her path was never meant to stay still.

 

From the charm of Carmel, California, to the buzz of Atlanta, the magic of New Orleans, and the coastal beauty of Jupiter, Florida, she collected not just stamps on a map, but flavors, friendships, and unforgettable experiences.

 

Along the way, she fell in love — with the effervescence of champagne, with its history, its artistry, and most of all, its power to bring people together. To her, champagne was never just for special occasions — it was an invitation to celebrate life, every single day.

 

That passion became Pops Palm Beach — a champagne tasting and education company where elegance meets joy, and where every sip is a reminder that we don’t have to wait for birthdays or anniversaries to toast to something beautiful.

​

A certified WSET level two in Wines and Spirits, she brings both expertise and enthusiasm to every experience, blending knowledge with the warmth of Southern hospitality.

 

For Sheila, and for Pops Palm Beach, every day is a celebration. And with every bottle popped, she shares a little bit of her journey — from Mississippi roots to a sparkling life well-lived.
