My name is Kayla Herrera and I work at Iconik coffee Roasters in Santa Fe, NM. I've been in the coffee industry for 7 years, my goal is to continue to learn more about the theory of coffee and strive to be the best barista I can be. I will always remember the day my mom let me drink my first cup of coffee with her. It was gas station coffee, with cream and sugar. I'm not sure if I truly liked the taste, but the time I spent having an intimate conversation with my mom made me fall in love with the concept of how coffee can bring people together. If it wasn't for that one day with my mom, I'm not sure I would be so passionate about coffee. I'm excited to continue this journey in the coffee world and can't wait to grow and thrive in this wonderful community.
