What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead coffee quality and operations end-to-end, while applying my computer and trade experience to solve problems fast, improve processes, and support strong team performance.

I’m an experienced and passionate Coffee Specialist with deep expertise in every stage of the coffee value chain—from farm to cup. I’m skilled in green coffee grading, cupping, roasting, brewing techniques, and quality control, and I use data analysis and problem solving to drive consistent results.

I also bring a versatile Computer Specialist background, with experience spanning installation and configuration of hardware and software, network connectivity troubleshooting, and system upgrades. In addition, my work as an Import and Export Coordinator and Marketing Manager has strengthened my communication, negotiation, and customer orientation—helping me handle complex operations confidently and improve team performance.
