About Me:

I'm a hospitality management graduate and when I was still in school we had a speaker once, who happened to be a barista. He talked about his job and that being a barista doesn't just happen overnight. It takes time so you really have to have a passion for it. I got interested so I joined a basic barista class right after. And then worked as a barista in a few coffee shops here in the Philippines and in Malaysia. In Malaysia I got exposed to the production of coffee, I learned more about the process. But since barista jobs doesn't pay as much here in our country, I had to stop and look for a high paying job. Now, I want to follow my passion and hopefully I can make it into a career.
