store
St. Helena, May 2014----Napa
Valley Coffee Roasting Company announces that Carolyn Love has been named the
new St. Helena Store Manager. “Carolyn’s passion for coffee communicates to the
customer,” Doug Dunlap, General Manager says, “so it’s wonderful that she can
take on this leadership role in this company,” he adds.
“The first moment I knew I
wanted to pursue a career in the coffee industry was the first time a customer
approached me after finishing the drink I had made them and told me “that was
fantastic,” Carolyn explains. “I had no clue a simple compliment would
encourage me so much and could make me so proud of something it takes just
about a minute to make. I knew from then that I never wanted to stop hearing
that and the motivation to search for that compliment has driven me to pursue
further opportunities in an industry I have loved since my first cup. At The
Roasting Company we are distinctive because we truly take pride in what we
do. We are careful to hand craft every drink from beginning to end. Our
beans are hand-picked, roasted in small batches, ground to order and brewed,
all by people who share a passion for fabulous coffee and outstanding customer
service. Family owned and operated, we understand how to treat a customer and
give them the best we can,” she adds.
Born in Woodland, Carolyn
grew up in the Napa Valley, graduated from Napa High School and began her
college career at Napa Valley College. She enjoys cooking and baking, whether
relying on her grandmother’s pie recipes or experimenting on her own.
