Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

My favorite aspect of coffe shop life is the people you meet and work with. Along with that, I enjoy coffee, both drinking and preparing, cupping and tasting and passing along the skills I have been fortunate enough to acquire through trainings and competitions. I have also worked in a cafe in Spain which lends well to the cross cultural aspect of "the exchange." (though I must add I am a bit more than rusty on the spanish."

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Oh, anywhere really.

About Me:

I love traveling, though I have been trying out the adult life more these days, which means not taking off every season to go skipping around the world. Who can afford that forever anyway? I've just started, this last year, to truly enjoy the "wonders of Pittsburgh" and see its unrealized potential. Its becoming home here.

About My Company:

I haven't held a job this long in all my life. That means that its a great place to work.
