Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I did not drink coffee at all until i got a job at Heavenly Cup Coffee Roasters, LLC. I fell in love almost immediately with coffee and espresso. Im also a painter, sculptor, mixed media artist, so i LOVE the challenge of Latte Art. I consider it one of my mediums as an artist, for sure. There is so much to learn everyday, and so much to challenge yourself with!

I Consider my standards as a Barista to be high. If a shot is not good enough, i will not serve it. I aim to give every customer a blissful experience, with the drinks i make, and my attitude.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I am currently living in Mexico, working in a seasonal coffee shop called El Buho (the owl). I will be here about six months, and i love the whole aspect of running a coffee shop in another country, new people, new ingredients, new atmospheres :)

About Me:

I am a crazy, fun-loving, hard working girl. I have a high standard with each drink i make, yet i have tons of fun when I'm working. I love being with customers, and seeing their faces when i present them with new drinks or whatever the day might entail. I love a good challenge, and I am always ready to learn more!

About My Company:

Heavenly Cup is awesome. They are a young business of 5 years old, and they have such high quality specialty coffee. They have a standard of excellence, that is not found in many places. I love working here!

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

My favotire thing is probably the challenge it always presents, to create, to develop new ideas, and to please. But i also love building relationship with customers.
