Outside of coffee, what is your favorite hobby?
The coffee industry is extensive, it is difficult for me to have time for a hobby outside of coffee. Spending time on related activities in this sector is the best hobby I can have.
What is your teaching style?
I have always taken the role of knowledge facilitator, promoting learning in a friendly and motivating environment, applying the learning method by doing.
What is the characteristic you like best about coffee? And why?
