Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

They are developing; I'm really loving learning new things about coffee and being able to use what I learn everyday working. I started working at Caffe Amadeus in December, so I've only been doing this a few months, but I think I'm making decent progress :)

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I have travelled all around the United States, but I'd like to hit all 50 states :) I was an exchange student in France for a few weeks during my senior, and I would love to travel around more of Europe!

About Me:

I never know what to say in these things without sounding like I'm rambling. I'm a student, a journalism major, and I just finished my freshman year of college. I'm a really out-going and bubbly person, so I really enjoy meeting new people!

I work in a coffee house called Caffe Amadeus (Check the link) and in my free time I'm a movie buff, shopaholic, and a horseback rider.

I'm new to the barista thing, but I really love it so far--work is rarely boring. I absolutely love my job and working in general. I really hate the saying that people cannot balance school, work, and a social life because I have been doing it successfully for the past four years without any problems.

About My Company:

Caffe Amadeus is a good time, you should definitely stop by sometime :)

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

My early morning customers :) How passionate people are about what they do.
