Please tell us a little about yourself:
I am 28 years old and originally from the small city of Kamianets-Podilskyi. Currently, I live in Dnipro and work at Eight CoffeeBar.
A fun fact about me is that four years ago, I first discovered specialty coffee. The first type I tried was filter coffee, and I didn’t like it at all. However, when I started working as a barista, I realized that specialty coffee is a fascinating and unique product that allows for experimentation and daily exploration. This experience helped me appreciate that specialty coffee is really tasty and interesting product
What are you excited to do while you are in Geneva?
To see the Alps and explore the Old Town.
What are your interests outside of coffee?
Relaxing in nature and music. Nature helps to recover mentally, while music helps to focus and adds energy.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
Thank you to my family, husband, and the Eight Coffee Bar team for their support.
