Description
After years of working in Law, music and film industry, I left everything behind for now!
I've worked as a chef for 3 years in Ireland, I'm also a Professional SCA-qualified barista and passionate about Coffee. In 2017 a friend of mine invited me to run our own business so ever since I've dealt with customer service, spent all day long talking to costumers and leading the staff in a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. We also share the bulding with a yoga teacher, and i ended up falling in love with it, it was big part in my spiritual awakening process.
Later in 2018 I went on a Sabbatical year doing volunteering in Switzerland,Greece,Turkey,Iceland,Russia and Brazil.
Moved to Miami in December 2019 to work for a Cruise Ship Company as Food and Beverage supervisor, that role lead me to be based in Genova, Italy.
In 2022 I made my comeback to Ireland, where I work as Head of Coffee and Culture, my tasks involve hiring, training, marketing, events, workshops, and all things coffee. The core of all of it is sustainability, we only work with direct trade and third wave. Ethical source products and providing a better quality of life to our fellow farmers/partners.
I’m a maker, you know what that is, right, it’s like the hipster word for someone who lives and breaths to create stuff, I’m constantly creating, have been since I was a kid, in fact I grew up in a little water-town with a real old-fashioned junkyard, and I’d throw pieces of beat up old bicycles together and take them home and pull out the hammer, some screws and mountain of duct tape and make frankenbikes, so I’m a maker too, always making physical stuff, but also more ethereal stuff, you know like with language, books, media and experiences.
I am very social and I really like to meet new people, with different experiences and stories, which I love to listen to! Each story is like a very special book for me......and I love books!
