About Me:

A good shot of espresso moves me heart and soul.

I lived in Italy for a year, but didn't like coffee!. It was only when I moved back and started working at Starbucks that even tried the stuff. From there (thank you cafe Grumpy!) I discovered that coffee could be more than just a fine purveyor of caffeine.

I'm now working to bridge the coffee gap between Philly and NYC!

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
