Nomad Coffee

After ten years of gaining experience in hospitality, in 2013 I decided to make a radical change in my life and dedicate myself exclusively to coffee.

That led me to quit my job and move to Barcelona, where the specialty coffee scene was just emerging. After some tough months, Jordi Mestre, founder of NOMAD, hired me as a barista at his first café, NOMAD COFFEE LAB & SHOP.

More than ten years have passed since that day, and I have grown both professionally and personally. From being a barista, I became a roaster. From roaster, I moved on to deciding which coffees we feature on our menu as Head of Coffee. NOMAD has become such an important part of my life that I have even invested in the company, and now I am a partner alongside Jordi Mestre.

Today, in addition to making decisions about green coffee purchases and supervising and supporting the roasting team, I also assist Jordi in making decisions about the direction of the company.
