About Me:

I study coffee because I believe in it as a mechanism of creating peace by fostering empathy and compassion by lending a warm atmosphere to all who enter a coffee shop. As a barista, I therefore believe in my duty, and my passion, to cultivate the fire that I believe coffee can spark and make friends and learn as much as I can! I drink tea.
