Childhood passion: To be a firefighter and a teacher—simultaneously!
Tânia Rocha has worked in coffee and hospitality since 2000 and joined InterAmerican Coffee in 2016. She is a native of Terceira, Açores, is an actress and an animal activist, and she’s always looking for an opportunity to unify people and share their stories. When not smothering her dogs, she is in search of the best donut around!

Proud life moment: I was the winner of the weekly brownie eating contest in elementary school. And I once ate 2 dozen glazed donuts in one sitting—easily. Further, I won the physical education award in junior high, arguably making up for all the brownies and donuts.
Favorite coffee experience: Meeting the farmers and families on coffee farms in Guatemala.
