Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I manage and own an independent coffee house just north of the entrance to Denali National Park, Alaska. We are seasonal: open from May-September. I am very much self taught, while picking every coffee brain that comes my way. But, in my off season, I would really like to go and submerge myself in some other coffee land and learn from talented coffee people and expand the horizon of my knowledge. I love to network with coffee professionals and talk shop.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Well, nearly all of them. Namely - France, Germany, Ireland, the U.K., San Francisco....

About Me:

I'm a bubbly, boisterous broad... interested in being wildly creative with life. I'm a gypsy through and through and often have my most fabulous epiphanies on the road. I love to sing and hug people. And I am dedicated to sustainable living, food, coffee and good love. I love to paint and draw, and often look at life through a lens, and sharing good food/coffee/wine with people is the spice of life. I have a wonderful partner in business and life, Adam, and a beautiful little boy, Bear.

About My Company:

The Black Bear Coffee House is a coffee cabin/sanctuary/local living room/pirate lair nestled between Mt. Healy and Mt. Sugarloaf, 130 miles south of Fairbanks, AK. I am dedicated to teaching people about the love and joy of making exceptional coffee, and sharing it with them. We are crazy busy during our seasonal months: May-September. And we are all quite eccentric gypsies who revel in our individuality. We strive to give everyone something that will make their buds jump for joy.
