Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I'm a very skilled barista with excellent customer service. I am a patient and clear trainer and manager with a keen ability to communicate my expectations. I have been working as a barista since 2007 where I trained with Stumptown Roasters. Since then, I've managed shops in Portland, New York City and London. In addition to training staff at those locations, I also provided advanced training for baristas in Antwerp, Belgium and Madrid, Spain. I have also provided consultation services to cafes and roasteries in New York, London and Madrid.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I have made coffee in Portland and NYC in the States as well as London, Belgium, Germany, Paris and Madrid. I would love to see more cities anywhere in the world with artisinal cafes, but most of all I would love to visit more coffee producing regions and get back to the source of everything.

About Me:

I'm a passionate, self motivated, hard worker. I love to solve puzzles. I love to learn and share ideas. Coffee has provided me a platform to travel the world and meet new, interesting people with similar perspectives.
