Please tell us a little about yourself:
8 years in coffee, i've worked as a barista, educator, roaster and quality control. Currently AST and a grader. I really like how coffee bring people from all over the world together. For me, competitions are a way to test myself against myself, making me improve each time.
What are you excited to do while you visit the WCC city?
I've never been to an event like this, not even outside the continent, I'm very excited to meet coffee people from all over the world
What are your interests outside of coffee?
I love music, I've been playing the drums since I was little
Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize, or who helped you to prepare for the WCC?
Yes, to my dear friend Absalon (may he rest in peace) who was the person who first taught me about specialty coffee and cultivated my interest in the industry. Also to my coaches, Alfredo and Carolina, who have been a huge support throughout my preparation since the national competition
