Learn about specialty coffee from its origin through to the cup. I offer group trainings on coffee evaluation, sensory skills, green buying & inventory management, roasting, brewing, and latte art.

Consulting services

Are you a business owner looking for support from an expert? Whether you’re opening a café, roastery, or international business, I can put my years of experience and expertise to work building successful strategies for project management, business development, and social media.

Interpreting & translation

I’ve been doing professional Spanish/English interpretation for longer than I’ve been in coffee (a long time!). Facilitating communication across language barriers with accurate technical vocabulary is one of my passions.
