I’ve been with Stone Creek Coffee for over 6 years. I started out working as a barista at our Bay View and Glendale stores. At the same time I began working as a production team member and eventually became the production manager. I've since transitioned to the role as buyer, but I still get the opportunity to work alongside a great crew of folks that are very busy unloading, roasting, bagging, packaging and delivering coffee that we are all very proud of.  

I was lucky to have found the coffee industry and to be with Stone Creek Coffee. I am surrounded by a lot of really good people who share similar passions. Our work has a positive, direct effect on families in countries of origin when we purchase our relationship coffees. Stone Creek is aware of its affects on people and the environment, is innovative and open to change, allows all of its employees access to the financial reports, takes care of its employees with good benefits, celebrates successes, and uses the not-so-great experiences to grow into something better. At Stone Creek, we have a constant discussion of how we can better ourselves as a whole. We work on recycling programs, composting, education, 'work-life balance' that monitors if employees are enjoying their job enough to leave energy for life outside of work, community support through donations.....the great projects are endless. I enjoy being surrounded by friendly, respectful people that I can learn from and laugh with. I can honestly say that you'll never walk into any room here without seeing a smile, and as much energy as I give, I certainly get back.
