About Me:

I'm a college undergraduate in my senior year and pursuing a bachelors degree in communication with a journalism concentration. I have proudly produced and served specialty coffee and espresso drinks since May 2005 at Coffease and Saxbys Coffee.

In February 2008, I created a blog about coffee called "Seriously Buzzed," covering the American cultural obsession to making specialty coffee and everything in between, like coffee facts, coffee shops, origins, health risks and benefits, misconceptions and more.

About My Company:

Coffease is a locally-owned specialty coffee drive-through business with four locations in Virginia Beach, VA. I have been a barista at Coffease since May 2005, where my love for coffee was actualized. I work there during winter and summer breaks from school. While away at school, I work at Saxbys Coffee on occasion.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The coffee culture!
