TI am currently working at a publishing company in Spokane Washington. We do some pretty bitchen work. I work with the graphic design aspect and am completely willing to work with someone wanting to spruce up an old logo, transferring a logo to PDF, making a new logo etc... my company also prints and mails and binds. If your interested in fliers, publications, short stories etc drop me a line.
I have received extensive training in the perfect shot, free pour and drink building. The shop I work for flew in our roasters top trainer and taster for a small intensive training. Before this shop I worked in a failing Cafe in my small home town. This was actually an incredible experience: I now know several ways to kill a business...
Even though I am very young i have put in countless hours furthering my knowledge and skills in the coffee industry and have extensive background in business. I believe I was born to own half the world before I'm 30. ITS ALL UP HILL FROM HERE BABY!
About Me:
Three years in coffee...
always always always bettering myself for the sake of the industry no matter what industry it happens to be. I live in the up and coming city of Spokane and it has been exciting to see the growth of the coffee industry as well as the city in general. I have had a passion for coffee for many years but I was too involved in Veterinary Technician training as well as owning small grooming business I started at the age of 16.
after five years selling dog sweaters getting hurt in a car accident I started at a small cafe in my small home town. I received several hours of training with the roaster that sold our beans. I stayed there for over a year dealing with some pretty awful coworkers, you know the kind that don't rinse the pitchers and re steam milk, any ways, I moved on to a wonderful chocolate shop that happens to have some of the best coffee I have had, I'd say top ten. They also gave me an intensive coffee course with their roasters trainer.
Now I work for a publishing company
