Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.: I have been working for It's A Grind Coffee House, born and raised in Long Beach CA for 6 years this coming April. In the past six years I have gone from your average day to day barista to a store manager and then corporate trainer for IAG (It's A Grind). I have learned a great deal from our previous Quality Assurance Director- Toby Foreman- who is unfortunately no longer with our company, however I have the utmost respect for him- his passion for EVERY aspect of the coffee industry and his plethera of knowledge. He has taught me a great deal and I would not be the barista I am today without him.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?: I have been to Italy (on my honeymoon with my husband), however I did not have near enough time there to truely appreciate and develop a respect for the industry that was born there. I can tell you though that I had the best d#@$ cappuccino that you will ever consume there!
