- Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
- I pull a pretty good shot of 'spro, if I do say so myself... others say so too. My latte art ain't bad. No matter what I do, I always manage to overstretch milk. I am anal-retentive/OCD about machine cleanliness to the point of getting teased about it at every barista gig I've ever had. I'm a bit out of practice of late, but I managed not to completely embarrass myself at the last TNT
- What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
- Toronto, Portland, Austin, Brooklyn, Montreal, London, Glasgow, Prague
- About Me:
- I love scotch almost as much as I love espresso. Other passions include reading, music, yoga and urban cycling. Ask me about my last band... on second thought, don't.
I just moved from DC to Chicago and I'm looking for a (part-time) barista gig because coffee people are the best people around and food service jobs are the best way to meet interesting people in a new city. I also teach yoga, so if anybody knows any studios or health clubs looking to hire, do let me know! - About My Company:
- I used to work at Open City (in Woodley Park, DC), li'l sister to Tryst (in Adams-Morgan, DC): restaurant/bar/coffee shop/lounge/dessert topping/floor wax
- What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
- the demon bean itself, followed very closely by the communities it inspires

I've got plenty of work to do tomorrow.
Most of it involves making pancakes and eating popsicles in my pajamas at home. It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it.
