Becca Wuebben

Hey there! I’m Becca! I began working as a barista in 2019 while I was in high school. I loved the way coffee brought people together and wanted to be apart of that on a deeper level. When my plans changed after I graduated, I wanted to keep myself busy in a way that challenged me but was still fun! A few months later, Silver Linings was born, and I had the opportunity to be apart of endless celebrations, while learning so much more about the art of coffee, and how it brings people joy.

Alexis Johnson

Hi! My name is Alexis Johnson, and I’m currently a marketing major at Grand Canyon University in Arizona. I grew up in Lakeville, Minnesota, where my passion for fun and creative coffee drinks first began. That love for coffee inspired me to partner with Silver Linings, where I get to combine my creativity with my studies. As a marketing student, I enjoy designing unique and approachable coffee creations that bring joy to every event and customer we serve!

OUR STORY

2020 started out with me full of excitement about the most incredible year I was going to have! I was graduating from High School in June and then I was leaving for an entire year of traveling the world and serving people through an immersive Gap Year program called EF Gap Year.

And then, thanks to the effects of COVID my last few months as a high school senior were not the exciting, hopeful, celebratory culmination of 13 years of hard work that all teenagers look forward to, instead, we were stuck at home, missing class, missing friends, missing the in-person celebrations we had been looking forward to for so long.  

Not only that but because of world-wide travel restrictions, my year-around-the-world-adventure-of-a-lifetime trip was canceled, indefinitely. 

I think it’s safe to say that 2020 will forever be shadowed by a dark cloud. 

As I started brainstorming what would be next, I knew I wanted to do something that brought people joy and allowed me to share my hope and optimism about life! 

This is where the idea for a mobile coffee bar was born - the Silver Lining to our dark, cloudy year.
