Sustainable Coffee Project Update #1
This is my very first personal update as part of the development team for a sustainable coffee program. The project (now called, Global Coffee Solution) includes the creation of the Yoro Biological Corridor. What makes it truly special is the end goal: to protect, regrow and link up threatened forests in cooperation with smallholder coffee farmers.

My Job as a Video Game
Sometimes my job feels rather epic. So much so, that I was inspired to take some of our research and turn the data into a quest!
