New coffee hunter!

Prior to joining Mercanta she has worked as a television researcher and a journalist specialising in Latin America. Katherine first became interested in coffee after visiting Monmouth’s Covent Garden shop during her first year at university, and later spent a month a volunteering on a coffee-tourism project run by a growers’ cooperative in Mexico. She interned with us in summer 2008 so already knows Mercanta and the coffee-hunting team well. Katherine has a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Spanish from Oxford University and a postgraduate diploma in print journalism from City University, London.
