Andrea is a truly inspiring woman and today we’d like to share her story with you, so you can be inspired too. Originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, Andrea moved to Texas in 2010 and used to work as a software engineer for an IT department. In her own words:
“Coffee was always my best part of the day at my old job. It was like my best friend for the eight years I worked as a software engineer”.
As an enthusiast, she attended coffee courses and barista throwdowns but she also realised coffee shops had a unique vibe that made her want to visit them for hours. This was when a platonic dream was created. She realised she fits in well and thought maybe one day she could work in a coffee shop...
