Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I've been making coffee for around 8 years now, I work at a fast pace college coffee shop as well as an artisan cafe. The college coffee shop moves very fast (lines of 30 people for hours on end at times) with people who want their coffee and to get to class. The other cafe is more focused on quality and presentation. I know what it takes to make great coffee and I like to make the best cup possible every time.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I'm interested in traveling along the west coast, possible L.A., Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, basically anywhere with a coffee culture I can learn from. East coast is a possibility but I'm more comfortable on the west coast.

About Me:

I am a 24 year old who would love to learn more about coffee and pursue a possible passion for myself. Thus far in life my passion has avoided me, I'm not sure exactly what I am extremely passionate about and it gets to me sometimes. I love making an amazing espresso drink or finding that perfect roast that makes me swoon. I do the best I can with what I have to work with and I feel I may be the most passionate about the coffee where I work. It's just hard because I don't really know which direction to take that passion.

About My Company:

The company I work for is aiming for that coffee shop culture feel and look, we just aren't there yet. We like the idea of putting the coffee up front and on a pedastal.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The people and their passion and love for coffee.
