Over the years she worked in both retail and wholesale, having roles such as barista, shift lead, account manager & trainer, national account manager, Director of Wholesale and has taught for the SCA through Barista Camp, Expo, and Technicians Guild. She owns a retail coffee consulting company, Curated Coffee Consulting.Outside of coffee, you'll find her taking classes (just finished cooking, now onto ceramics!), playing fetch with her dog Kumi (her motto: ball is life), or exploring the many restaurants and cafes of Phoenix with her husband, Dan.
