    M has been in coffee for 6 years doing everything from barista, bartender, drink curator and trainer. They continue to strive to learn more about the industry while sharing with the community!

  • Emary Greene, Community Outreach Coordinator

    I am encouraged and inspired by Austin Coffee Collective’s dedication to giving back to communities in need, working with organizations like OutYouth and Casa Marinella to make sure people are taken care of. It would be great to see even more collaborations with grassroots organizations and nonprofits to broaden our reach. I’d like to plan some specific fundraising events with the folks already doing great work in the community.

  • Jill Fountain, General Board Member

    As a technician and a female business owner, I believe I offer a unique perspective on an underrepresented and important part of the coffee industry. As a board member, I would aim to be a resource for our community by sharing my technical knowledge, business experience, and the lessons I’ve learned from building a company in this industry.I also believe strongly in collaboration and in sharing knowledge and resources that help our entire coffee community become stronger.
