Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

They call me coffee 'cause I grind so fine.

I am Stumptown-trained and worked for a year and a half as a barista in a campus coffee shop here in Portland. I worked alone and with others during both busy and slow shifts. I have experience opening and closing. I loved working in that small shop because of the strong community support and involvement we enjoyed there, and am currently looking for the right place to experience that again!

Japan and Taiwan are at the top of my list. I'm flexible!
