Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

Have been a lifelong coffee lover, and have a ginormous desire to experience coffee all over the world. I have a dream of combining my love for coffee, rock climbing, and travel into my own business somehow, sometime!

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I have been to Turkey, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I would very much like to go to central America, and even more so love to go to modern day Ethiopia.

About Me:

I grew up in the Scouting Program, Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout. I love to travel and be outdoors. I started really learning coffee at a very small community coffee house in Beaverton OR (my hometown) called Goodness, the first time I walked in I fell in love and offered to be a volunteer and it blossomed into a full work opportunity. I have always been happiest helping other people and sharing my passions for a natural world. I have always been green and feel it is my lifes purpose to share/spread goodness through the world of coffee. Through working at Goodness I was able to also begin working with our roaster. We buy from a local Beaverton, small batch, roaster called Dovetail. I do many things for Dovetail: Help staff the Saturday farmers market, coffee steward, specialty barista for catered events.

About My Company:

Goodness is family owned and is in the business of creating happiness through healthy food, exquisite coffee and truly good people. We are in the business of Goodness for the betterment of the community and also happen to be able to make money by doing what we love.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

Coffee is world wide, and I want to show the world real Goodness
