‘My favorite coffee memory isn’t a single instance, it’s my “journey through coffee”. Creating value within Trabocca comes from that journey. Quality is a moving target, why would I stand still?’
'When I tried a perfect, washed, Yirgacheffe for the first time, I realized that coffee could taste, among many other things, like fruit. Within the coffee industry, we work with a supply chain which is very complex and culturally diverse so we need to be creative and resourceful every day.'
‘It was when I had a Kenyan coffee that was juicy and balanced with a unique hint of cinnamon, that I realized just how varied and delicious specialty coffee could be. My primary goal is to bring a true sense of transparency, accuracy, flexibility, and speed to any and all logistics, inventory, and operations-related needs.’
‘My favorite coffee memory is cupping a large amount of low-grade, commercial brands of coffee and realizing that I had made the right choice to be in specialty. I strongly feel that we have one of the finest teams in the industry. Without them, I would not be able to serve our customers.’
'When my brother & sister-in-law moved down to FL & we went to visit them. My sister-in-law & myself sat on her new patio with delicious coffee, watching the FL sunrise & chatting about the possibility of us moving to FL as well. It was so nice just me & her, before the chaos of the day started since our husbands and kids were all still sleeping. It was so peaceful to just sit with her & dream for a bit. I believe I bring value with my advanced logistics knowledge, thus creating trust. I also offer our services to them with prompt responses & make sure to give them a positive experience to increase their satisfaction. I’ll bring value by being an expert on their services needed. As well as our products.'
'My favorite coffee memory is the first latte art throwdown I competed in. A bunch of my coworkers at the café I was working at the time came to compete too. So many friends from the coffee industry were there to pour and have fun. I lost my bracket in the first round because I was so nervous I spilt my latte walking it to the judges’ table. There’s something so special about being able to come together with a bunch of people you share an interest with to have a friendly, exciting competition.'
"My love for coffee began at the age of 15 when I entered my first neighborhood cafe. It was the culture and the people there that attracted me first. By the time I was 16, I was working there and drinking the coffee. Coffee has always been an intriguing conduit that connects beautiful people from around the world. My love for coffee has only continued to grow as I work in different parts of the supply chain, and there is no end in sight".
