Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I'm extraordinarily personable, and have a huge passion for the coffee world. I absorb random coffee facts and love sharing my knowledge. I can make a mean cupa' joe, and my latte art isn't too shabby either.

I'm also really interested in espresso machine manufacture and repair. Former bosses can tell you that I get unreasonably excited about detailing the espresso machines I work on... I would love to get inside one of those babies and see how they tick!!

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I'm interested in traveling everywhere! I absolutely love my job but I'm aching to pack my bags and go abroad.

English is my native tongue, so I would be most at ease in an English language work environment, but I have also done language immersion programs in Guatemala and Costa Rica and would be ecstatic to travel to any Spanish speaking country.

About Me:

I grew up in Seattle Brothers Coffee territory-- Vashon Island. After graduating high school i moved to Phoenix, Arizona for spell but ultimately worked my way back to the beautiful Pacific North West. I'm currently a full time student up in Bellingham, Washington, working at Tony's. I'm always on the look out for my next adventure, but for the time being I'm pretty pleased with the one I'm on:)

I'm loving my life right now, but should the opportunity present itself, I would be pleased as punch to pack my bags and hit the road. I like to experience new places and new people, doing a shop exchange would be amazing for me.
