- Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
- I love people. I love laughter. Most of all I love coffee mixed with both of those.
I have been in the coffee business on and off--one shop for 2 years, another 3rd wave for a few months, and another 3rd wave for a few months. I still have a lot to learn--and soak it up with a vengence.
I want to settle down and grow old working in a shop that is awesome.... - What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
- I'm interested in Hawaii and Colorado--they seem to share the same personality that I seem to jive well with. I also would love to learn the coffee culture of Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland.
I'll go anywhere--as long as it is a happy place. NO ANGRY BARISTAS!!! - About Me:
- We're all connected in this huge web of life and coffee runs the motor.
I'm a pretty laid back granola of a chick who *TRIES* to ride her bike everywhere, rain or shine.
I feel that coffee shops fulfill their role when they are producing a amazing product that goes deeper than the cup--it supports it's growers, it brings a smiles and giggles, it promotes energy and the shouted cry of "Eureka!"
I want to work with positive people using coffee as an engine bringing culture to customers' cups, eyes, and ears--as long as fun music and beautiful smiles are involved. - What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
- I love the environmental and social connection that the artisan coffee and 3rd wave culture promotes.

No, I do not know them personally (just a few very casual conversations a year or more ago). I do know the owner of Progress Coffee and Owl Tree Roasting in Tulsa. Check them out and I can introduce you guys if it looks cool to you.
Good luck!
