"PERFECTO" Coffee Lounge
Please tell us a little about yourself:
I am currently part of the team at the specialty coffee shop "Perfecto", where I have found a space to express my love for coffee and art. My journey into this fascinating universe began six years ago, sparked by a curious coincidence: a K-drama ignited my interest and led me, almost by fate, to discover the world of coffee while doing my internships as a chef. Since then, this magical world has captured my heart and become an unshakable passion. Today, that same passion, combined with the pride I feel for my country, drives me to compete and share this unique story that defines who I am.
What are you excited to do while you are in Geneva?
I am thrilled to discover the fascinating culture of Switzerland, exploring its iconic tourist attractions. I look forward to admiring the majesty of the famous "Jet d'Eau" fountain, strolling through the Conservatory and Botanical Garden, visiting the Museum of Art and History, and indulging in its renowned chocolate and exquisite cuisine. Every corner of this country promises a unique experience that I eagerly hope to explore.
What are your interests outside of coffee?
Beyond coffee, my interests encompass art in all its forms and expressions. This is reflected in my profession as a visual artist, as well as in my passion for cooking, dancing, and environmental protection. Lastly, I take pride in sharing and promoting the rich culture of my country—a legacy I deeply appreciate and value.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
I express my deepest gratitude to my mother for her infinite patience and unconditional support, which has been my guiding light at all times. To "Perfecto", I am thankful for opening its doors and providing me with opportunities that have transformed my life. And finally, I acknowledge myself for the resilience and determination to never give up, even in the face of the countless challenges that marked my path.
