About Me:
Never thought I would make coffee my career but most of my career has been dedicated to my love of coffee. Maybe it is the scandinavian heritage... I started drinking coffee at age 9. My mom made cafe aulait using a moka pot and a small enameled pitcher she used to heat the milk in.
Although my job encompasses a wide variety of responsibilities, teaching Baristas and sharing my experiance and knowledge and watching students skill and confidence grow is what drives me

Hey Heidi,
Thanks for adding Coffee Kids! Check out http://www.flickr.com/coffeekids to see our partners at work. How did you hear about us? And as Mike below mentioned, if you're ever in AZ you just have to pop over one state to be in New Mexico and visit us.
