Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
The best way I can put it is that I'm a Junior Varsity barista looking to improve and make my way up to Varsity, haha. I worked at Peet's Coffee & Tea in Los Gatos, CA for a little over a year, then I left the coffee game for a bit, and now I've come back to work in a tiny hole-in-the-wall shop (figuratively & literally, yes) inside a corporate building. Just looking to expand my knowledge even further and improve my skills; I can make pretty foam, but the only art I've been able to create is a snowball.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
I've road-tripped across the U.S. three times, but I need to do it at least 5 more; there's just so much to see and experience. But if given the chance, I'd love to see how it's done in Scandinavia, and in the Netherlands.
About Me:
I feel as though I've joined a secret society of BadAssery by being able to drink my coffee black. My humor is dry like a cappuccino. Dreaming up specialty drink combinations is my favorite pastime.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
Endless possibilities.
