Baylee began her career in specialty coffee as a barista in the Great Seattle Area in 2009, but just 7 years later, she found her passion - roasting.

Now she is the Director of Marketing and Engagement for #shestheroaster and is proudly involved with GlitterCat Barista as a Mentor and 2020 Roaster.

From micro-roasters to macro-roasters, she roasted on machines with a five-hundred-pound capacity all the way down to machines with a five-hundred-gram capacity.

It's what she loves to do. And it shows during my interview with her.

A couple of key questions I got to ask her is if she has ever felt the imposter syndrome in any of her roles, and how did she navigate through them. Also, she gives some kickass advice for the next generation of female production industry workers.

And the most important thing I needed to know - why did she say yes to being on my podcast?
