Please tell us a little about yourself:
I started working in coffee in 2002 as an administrative assistant. Little by little I entered the world of cupping and in 2016 I obtained my cupping certification. I started working as a quality control manager and have been competing since .
What are you excited to do while you are in Geneva?

Me gustaría conocer la Catedral de San Pedro, catar chocolates, comida y quesos. Me gustaría ir a museos, al Lago Leman y comprar un reloj suizo. Además de hacer nuevas amistades y fortalecer la comunidad del café.
