Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I'm always looking to improve every aspect of my skills. I love to learn and help those at the same token. I'm pretty easy going and easy to communicate with. Above all I try to keep an open mind. To be stubborn to your own ways is counter-productive. In order for all this to happen it's important to have passion for your work. Thats what I have to give. My passion for coffee.
