Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I know a little about a lot yet am always looking to learn and grow.
Our shop is a mobile cafe pulled and/or dropped off, by a 64 Ford truck. We focus on giving back and inclusion. We all need help at some point and we always need connection.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Any and all of course.

About Me:

I am an ex corporate executive that dreamed of time to enjoy my morning coffee and finally decided it was time to be my own boss.
I learned how to roast and make espresso drinks back in Santa Cruz, CA at a tiny little ice cream parlor and never looked back-I was hooked.
I love to garden and grow as much food as I can. I find it therapeutic and empowering.
When I'm not working I can be found bottle-feeding stray kittens or snuggling with another. I've been a hands-on animal rescue for over 30 years.

About My Company:

Our company believes that community should not alienate or deprive for any reason so we give back in several ways. We feed, clothe, and support children and our homeless neighbors while hiring and working to create an environment of equality, fairness, and love. We pay above average wages, source from companies and suppliers that pay fair wages and give back. We are brand new yet dedicated to making a big impact where it truly matters.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The coffee of course, with the amazing people and good conversation.
