Hey, I'm air.

I'm a coffee community advocate and brand & event strategist based in Chicago.

Working for over the past 8 years in the Chicago Specialty Coffee Industry I have been able to help foster skills ranging from behind the bar to roasting, sales, marketing, and brand development.

Currently, I am the President of New Gotham Coffee Community • NFP, a Chicago-based nonprofit focused on creating learning and growth opportunities for the local coffee community.

As well, I'm a contributing writer for Sprudge.com as one of their Chicago field reporters. I cover street level issues facing the local coffee industry and write about the latest collaborations between roaster, bars, brewers, and restaurants.

Recently, I was the former Manager of Business Development & Marketing/Sales at Passion House Coffee Roasters. I am also the former Owner/Operations Director of Gourmet Delights Popcorn, at Chicago Gold Snacks, where I lead product development, oversaw daily sales, production goals, and made awesome popcorn. Previously, I was the Administrative & Account Manager for Hinton Hanes Marketing Group. 

I'm always ready and available to chat about possible future projects or catch up over a stellar cup of coffee.
