About Me:

I'm every brand of nerd you can imagine, and I love people and establishing a sense of community. My favorite thing in the world is to know what the costumer wants, or to recommend something I'm sure they'll love.
I like music and books, coffee and Jesus.

I try to do one kind thing for someone each day, but if they notice, it doesn't count.

I'm extremely passionate in everything I do. When I like/dislike something, I have a soapbox about it. Just tell me to shut up.

I've been told I have a bit too much gumption, and that sounds about right.

I like to think the universe is conspiring to enlighten me in every situation.

I believe that despite everything, people are really good at heart.

About My Company:

I'm a barista at The Muse in Lynchburg, Virginia. It's owned and managed by awesome people who are passionate about quality service and coffee. The ambiance when you walk in is SO cool... there's such a sense of community and support of local artists and musicians.

I absolutely love it.
