Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I've been working at a cafe in Kenosha, WI for a little over a month now, and I think I've found my calling. I've always been a coffee fiend, but since becoming a full-time barista I have learned so much, and want to learn even more. I'm seriously considering this to be a major professional pursuit in my future.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

All of them, every last one. Unfortunately I have never gotten the opportunity to travel abroad from the US. My parents didn't have the money to do so while I was growing up, and now being a college student, neither do I. I want to spend my life traveling the world though, I always have.

About My Company:

I work for 'Cafe De Lube' -- it's sort of the combination of a lube shop (garage, mechanic, or what have you...) and an up scale cafe. It's a neat concept, and an awesome place to work.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The history, the artistic liberty.... the coffee.
