What do you do?
I am the Coffee Director at Camber Coffee, a cafe and restaurant. I am a manager of sorts but mainly am grateful to have the opportunity to taste some of the most beautifully selected coffees and create drinks for guests that keep them coming back.
Advice/words of wisdom that affected your life you’d like to pass on?
Well, my mother will always be my inspiration and the one who has told me my whole life to “échale ganas”, a Spanish phrase that translates roughly to “do it with feeling, give it your best shot.” My mother still tells me this all the time, no matter what I’m doing, it is important that I put my whole being into it--because if I don’t, is it really a reflection of my love? As I get older these words pop into my head often when I’m making big decisions and I’m slowly starting to realize that my energy, time, love, etc., is precious and delicate and when I put all of it into something, it is because I’ve decided it is worth it.
