I’m a Global Coffee Professional specializing in Green Coffee Education and Quality Control

I'm passionate about green coffee production, sustainability, education, and quality control. Through education programming, I work to develop skills of next generation coffee leaders.

I'm hoping to take whatever knowledge I've been given and work to build a world in which producers have ample access to information to thrive. I care immensely about coffee quality and the lives of people I've come to know in travels to producing countries in Nicaragua, Uganda, Burundi, and elsewhere.

In addition to seeing producers and farmers raised up, I'm committed to equity in the American coffee industry. I've recently helped design a broad coffee education program to raise up a new generation of Black coffee professionals in sustainable career roles in quality control and importing.

Education is a powerful way to help people flourish, and I love coming alongside professionals as they grow their career. It’s a joy to contribute to building community in the global coffee industry.
