Throughout my career my ultimate goal has always been to find the best way to make progress. Within myself, with my teams, and within my community. And every year that goes by I continue to see that our possibilities are endless.As a kid, I kept to myself a lot. I was very quiet and just stayed inward. It wasn’t until I started becoming involved in my local theater I discovered the fire in me to bring people together and make something everyone can benefit from all in the pursuit of progress. Following this path has lead me to not only a career of 20+ years working in the arts in a multitude of capacities, but I also now hold 5+ years of team management, content development, educational instruction, and community engagement with a company that I’m celebrating 9 years with this year.My current position has me leading a team of trainers for both our cafes and wholesale partners while I also constantly assess, develop, and implement new training procedures as they’re realized. The formats vary between document building, video creation, design application usage, and in person coaching.In the past five years I’ve been able to fully redevelop our 8 class barista training program, launch community events like our Pride themed Latte Art competition with local partners, develop a program to train baristas on a global level through our producer partners, and am currently in the process of redeveloping all of our current role based training materials.Feel free to message me- I’d love to connect and find a way to make some progress together.
