Beyond the Brew
Any fun facts we should know about you?
"I'm a bit of a baking enthusiast—I've got a Certificate 3 in Retail Baking and a Certificate 4 in Patisserie. Come to think of it, maybe I should be whipping up sweet treats, instead of espressos!
Oh, and I'm a proud cat parent of a few rescue cats. They definitely keep things interesting."
