Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I train/teach new students every quarter on making espresso & general cafe tasks, help with brewing workshops, and try to make things as streamlined and educational as possible. I've recently been working on developing a better training program for our new staff.
I am the head barista at my cafe, and the only full time barista. The other people I work with are students.

The Philippines (I'm half filipinx), Norway, Seoul, Japan, LA, & Beijing.

A nerdy, geeky person who loves making coffee. I love video games, documentaries, reading, photography, and researching. I'm always trying to better myself and also enjoy sharing the knowledge I gain with the people around me.
