    Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

    About six years after I first laid my hands on a portafilter, I am still striving to achieve barista perfection.


    What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

    I've had the good fortune to relax in a few coffee shops in Spain, France, and Israel. I'd love to continue to explore these areas with a specific concentration on the art of espresso


    About Me:

    I started out in a small, slow "corporate" shop where I worked with my boyfriend who was obsessed with creating top of the line espresso drinks even though our customers didn't know the difference. After two years there, I moved to a local coffee shop where I honed my skills and practiced training others in the art of barista. I took a year off to study pizza and student teach and am now back in the coffee biz earning a supplement to my teacher salary. I am reminded every day of the importance to continue to grow as a person, teacher and barista.


    What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

    The passion exhibited by the people who care about their coffee.
