Please tell us a little about yourself:
I've been working with specialty coffee for almost a decade - first as a barista, then barista trainer, and now as a coffee roaster.
My coffee journey started, as Bob Ross would say, because of a ""little happy accident"", and continues to this day.
I've been competing for a few years, to test myself, to keep improving and because the process of growth through prep feels rewarding.
And somehow, someway, thanks to a support of a lot of amazing people I've managed to make my dream of competing on World Stage come true :)
What are you excited to do while you are in Jakarta?
Experiencing a new culture, tasting local food, meeting new people!
What are your interests outside of coffee?
Good storytelling - no matter if on screen, or on paper!
Self-growth - mental and physical.
NBA, UEFA Champions League.
Cocktail culture.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
My family, and my friends for being there for me, and teaching me the most important lesson - strength is in numbers, and I don't have to bare the weight of this journey solely on my shoulders.
