Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I've been working in the industry for 5 years as a barista in a small chain in Orange County. I don't know how, but for 4.9 of those years I was oblivious to the actual art and science behind coffee. Now I'm diving in head first and loving it.

I would love to travel to Australia, Asia or pretty much anywhere in or outside the US. But unfortunately I'm limited to California due to schooling.
