I’m a full-time barista with a passion for sharing stories, and some of the best stories I’ve heard have been over the top of an espresso machine. My favorite thing about coffee is its ability to bring a bunch of people into the same space every morning and make them chatty.

You can find me at Blue Spoon Coffee Company in lower Manhattan. If I’m not there, I’m either at NYU working on my Master’s degree in Food Studies, wandering around farmers’ markets in Brooklyn, or sneaking back to Vermont to drink Heady Topper and eat cheddar cheese.

Here, I’d like to filter through some stories of my own. Like most of what I do, they’ll be coffee-fueled (and coffee-focused). Enjoy!
