Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I just started making coffee in the summer of 07'. After being trained by Dismas Smith, I now work at Stillaguamish Coffee Co. in Stanwood, WA. Over the past 9 or so months, I've gotten the privelege of learning the art of coffee making and meeting so many great new people. I love the business and the social aspects.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Later in life i would LOVE to travel all over the U.S. Unfortunately I am still in school and can't afford to travel right now.

About Me:

Stella Hutson. Barista. Coffee Enthusiat. I have been making coffee for 9 or so months and love the industry. Born and raised in Stanwood, when a family friend decided to open a little shop called Stilly, I jumped at the opportunity. I began volunteering, and soon got trained and was able to work. I've learned a lot working here, not only about coffee making, but also about business in general. This is a fantastic experience.

About My Company:

I work at a coffee shop in downtown Stanwood. Stillaguamish Coffee Co. is the only place of it's kind in Stanwood. With the atmosphere of a downtown Seattle coffee shop, and the home town hospitality you'd expect from a small town, we take pride in serving Borogove Coffee. Complimenting our great atmosphere, we offer free internet, comfy couches, live music, sandwiches, and an array of baked goods.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The art of making coffee and meeting different people
