Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I'm in love with coffee, and doing my best to make a career out of it! As for my skills, I would say, modestly, that I have some, but I have a lot to learn, and I'm always open for more knowledge! As far as slingin' coffee goes, I'm pretty good, but need some work. Right now I'm working on building more of a romance with coffee. Learning all of the ins and outs in their entirety.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I would like to go to all of the great coffee producing regions of the world. That's where it all starts and has such a huge effect on what ends up in our cup!
