What I like about being a barista at Terra Bella is that I have gotten to know so many wonderful people and made friendships that I treasure.  After 15 years of working alone in my studio, our customers have renewed my faith by reminding me every day that there is an unlimited supply of warm, kind, fun and generous people.  I enjoy the opportunity to serve our customers and regard them as a blessing in my life.
