- I work at a locally owned company called Cups an Espresso Cafe. They roast there own coffee. There are about 11 stores right now. Five of which are company run; the rest are franchise. I have worked for Cups in several capacities: barista, assistant manager, and manager. I am good friends with the owner. The company is a part of my life now.

- What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
- Making a latte, and watching the beauty and pleasure light up the customers day. It's just another way to love people.
