Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
Ever since I came up to Alaska 6 years ago with the Army I was introduced to REAL coffee shops and my curiosity began about coffee. Eventually I worked at Kaladi Brothers (the greatest coffee shop ever!), and found my new calling as a Barista. Ever since then (2 or 3 years ago) I've wanted to go back and work at a coffee shop and compete the barista championships. Kind of hard to do when you are set with bills that need to be paid ... ;( But that' where I stand.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Italy, Iceland, South America....i guess anywhere. I love learning about other cultures.
About Me:
I am Hispanic American (panamanian, colombian, dominican, and italian from what i know..lol) I was born in Queens, NY and raised in Brooklyn. Moved to Florida and joined the Army there. Alaska has always been my dream place to live and luckily i moved up here and married my husband from Alaska. We plan to stay here for a long time. We love it up here. I now am out of the Army and work full time as a System Administrator for the government. Have a doxie (my baby) Alphy and no kids. I love to make coffee, play video games, and watch movies. I like to do outdoor activities: camp, hike, fishing, and try new things.
