Fiction writer with kitchen experience, used to working under face-paced demanding environments. I have some experience as a Barista, but more importantly I am passionate about coffee and excited to learn the finer details of coffeemaking. On top of that, literature is my life. I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity to earn my MFA, have lived in the burgh on and off since 2014, & wish to further expand my literary community.
