Typica

Tell us about yourself:

Hi! It’s me again. My third time to compete in the WBC. Been in the industry for 7 years now. I love competition because it’s pushing me to be more patient and disciplined.

What are you excited to do while you visit Busan?

I am excited to see coffee friends! And to try what Busan cuisine is all about.

What are your interests outside of coffee?

Oh I love to eat. I am a picky eater but I am open to try new food and flavors.

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize or who helped you to prepare for the WBC?

The UAE SCA Chapter, Mr. Khalid Almulla. Goldbox and Typica team. My colleagues, Kiah, Mon, Aldrin, Emman, Luca, Barb. Also my coach Lyndon. My friends Nikoz, Eleni, Danielle, Jasper! Thank you for the support.

All the people who supports me around the world. Thank you!
