Currently I'm a certified barista at a local fair trade specialty coffee shop in Auburn, Alabama called Wake Up Coffee Co. I want to remain in the coffee industry after I graduate from Auburn University and work for a small artisan roaster full time. I love coffee because it is a social industry. As a barista you get the rare opportunity to get to know a a lot of people you ordinarily would not get the chance to meet. That is a really cool thing if you ask me.

Before Auburn, I lived in a small town called Flowery Branch, Georgia where I played lacrosse, baseball and ran cross country.

After college I would love to stay in the coffee industry and would love to move somewhere outside of the south east.
