I love people, animals, travel, music and dancing. I love being outdoors, fresh air and hiking. I enjoy reading, learning new things and being in the company of spectacular people.

About My Company:

I have recently left the coffee industry, briefly i hope, in order to have more time to go back to school. I have been fortunate enough to have worked at Mud Bay Coffee over the last few years, and learned so much from the owner. His vision for responsible business and desire to have just trading practices caused a great respect in me for both the business and for him. I hope to return to a coffeeshop in the future that shares this kind of passion for quality and responsibility in all aspects of the business.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
