About Me:

I am from New York and gained my passion for coffee in a small coffee shop in Newport, RI after school. After almost a year there I traveled to Italy where I gained even more enthusiasm for coffee. When I got back I drove cross country where I landed in San Diego where I am currently working at a small cafe called Turquoise Coffee and surfing as much as possible :)

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

Learning and perfecting a skill as well as the social aspect of cafes
