About Me:
I'm the Queen of Quickbooks, a two year vet of Peet's with a stint at a couple of places in London.

I have an affinity for Australian coffee culture, urban farms, hiking, and Pimms. That, and playing devils advocate when it comes to talking about the role of specialty coffee in sustainable food systems.

The coffee. Duh.
