About Me:

I am a relatively newcomer to the industry but have developed a passion all the same. I serve as Keeper of The Bean Talk (aka Marketing Director), as well as the Creative Director for Just Love Coffee Roasters. In addition to wearing those hats, I also manage our customer service department.

About My Company:

Just Love Coffee Roasters is an artisan roaster based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We hand-roast our Fair Trade, organic coffees for distribution across the country. In addition to roasting amazing coffee, we also provide a unique fundraising program for adoptive families, mission-minded groups, and non-profits. We also give 5% of our profits to Waterstep, a clean water initiative based in Louisville, Kentucky. Since 2009 we've given back over $250,000 and have installed a clean water well in Ethiopia with another being installed in the very near future.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The amazing pride that people have for their roles at every level. It's artisanship at it's finest.
