For the question how is it to be a woman in specialty coffee she says:
“I would love to say I don’t feel any difference, but over the last years, I realized that I have to work harder and convince more people regarding my skills. I have to be more annoying and live with throwbacks. As a woman in coffee, you have to be passionate and strong. It shapes your mentality and for me it kind of works. I never want to give up, no matter how long my way might be, and how many people I’d have to convince.”
A word from a woman to a woman, what is your message?

I’m passionate about it!
How is it for me to be a woman in specialty coffee?
For me, being a woman never stopped me, not on the field nor behind the bar. I never compare myself to a colleague’s gender, but to her/his skills. I try to estimate my abilities with myself and then I go out to the world more confident in myself.
A word from a woman to a woman, what is my message?
It is time to recognize our gifts, our abilities. The way we are different or unique from the other gender is power. You have it, use it.
A human being.
A person.
A Woman.
Embrace who you are.
