Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
As an artist I am able to see all that I do through an aesthetically pleasing eye. I am passionate, careful, methodical and almost ritualistic when preparing drinks for my customers. I love what I do and I approach every situation with love and care.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Everywhere! I am thirsty for knowledge and travel. I love to meet new people and with that, learn new things from them.
About Me:
My name is Shellie. I have been a barista since October of 2008. I may not have much experience under my belt but I like to think of it as, "I have plenty of time to learn".
I have had a love of all things coffee since I was 15 and am more than happy making it my career.
On the side I love to sketch, illustrate random things, take photographs, read, travel, and much more.
About My Company:
I am a Barista at a fantastic Espresso Bar/Roastery in the town of Charlottesville called "Shenandoah Joe". At the Joe we pride ourselves on our passion and dedication to providing a top-notch experience for the customer, from bean to the moment they walk out the door.
I love my job.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The passion! It's a great thing.
