In 2017, Brit was invited to join the small inaugural cohort of students to complete the pilot Coffee Sustainability program as a full-license AST for the Coffee Sustainability module. Since then, she has gone on to teach SCA Courses at the Specialty Coffee Expo, Roasters Guild Retreat, and online with fellow ASTs around the globe. It is Brit’s passion to illuminate the interconnectedness of the coffee’s value chain and to enhance equity through education.\nAn additional course enrollment fee of $50 will be paid by each enrolled student directly to SCA\n\n
