I work on market street in downtown, wilmington. the city itself is all business and lower class people with an art school around the corner. Brew Ha Ha! is our name. We are a five day store open from 6:30 am from 5:00 pm, monday thru friday. we run a tight shift of five people. its an exciting job. my barista skills range in all areas. I am a fast precis barsita.

About Me:
I am a 22 year girl growing up in Delaware, fell into this business because i was a crazy teenager with no direction in life but only found solitude when drinking coffee and reading. 3 years later with a bumpy ride and alot of experience's, i am managing a fantastic shop that is turning a somewhat crappy city seem like there is community and brightness and happiness. I enjoy my job, although it is obsessive and can be very over bearing on your body and mind. we are very busy. i am always playing catch up. it is like a rush. i have not traveled since i was in grade school and i am finally figuring out my passion in life, and this has become one, now i want to learn as much as possible about this world.
