Macarena Meza (she/they)
Place of Birth: San Fernando Valley, California
Years of Experience: 2
Hello! I’m Macarena and I’ve been working at Barclays for a year! Through this experience, I’ve found myself making friends with all my co-workers and bonding through our similar interests. Barclays has allowed me to build relationships as I work and learn about coffee and tea. My taste in coffee has boiled down to things that aren’t too sweet, which is why my favorite drink is the Hazelnut Latte with oat milk.
Salma Cruz (she/her)
Place of Birth: Northridge, California
Years of Experience: 1/2 a year!
Hello! I’m Salma and I’m a new hire. Though my time here is short, my drink palette has immensely expanded. I enjoy my time learning the process of making drinks and trying them as well! Before, I couldn’t even tell the difference between an espresso and a black coffee, but now I can taste it! Through my newfound knowledge, my favorite drink has become the Matcha Latte with oat milk.
Isabella Ballesteros (she/her)
Place of Birth: Glendale, California
Years of Experience: NEW!
Hi! I’m Isabella and I recently got hired, but I love exploring the different types of coffee there are. Barclays has expanded my taste greatly and opened my eyes to new flavors. Right now my favorite drink has to be the Blueberry beans in our Lavender Vanilla Latte! I recently started my journey with higher education studying psychology. I’m really grateful for these new experiences with Barclays and college!
