Our Team
Hannah Norris

Hannah (she/her) has her Masters of Arts in Humanitarian and Disaster Leadership from Wheaton College, and she has almost a decade of experience in the nonprofit sector working with a variety of people in different capacities, from being a resource navigator with families struggling with poverty to creating communications in the development department. She founded Arboretum Coffee in 2023 after witnessing the difficulties of engaging with the current social systems and the healing and growth that can come in a holistically community-focused environment. Besides growing Arboretum, she enjoys biking, reading, writing, exploring local and faraway coffee shops, creating stained glass pieces, and sitting with friends and family over coffee or dinner on her patio.
Jessy Metzger
Program Manager
Jessy (she/her) received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate from CSU. She has been teaching English Language and U.S. Citizenship to immigrants and refugees in the community for the past five years. After working closely with this diverse and talented group, she has been inspired to help build bridges between cultures that stretch beyond the language gap, extending on to provide opportunities to thrive holistically in our beautiful city. She has also volunteered with youth and in the local coffee industry. Jessy can usually be found at the library surrounded by books, on a walk, or enjoying board games with her husband and friends.
Nina Forsyth
Shop Manager
Nina (she/her) began her coffee journey in 2016 when she got a job at Starbucks. Through their “Coffee Master” program, she grew her palate and then started exploring craft coffee. That led her to work and volunteer at different coffee shops in Northern Colorado, eventually leading to an invitation to be part of Arboretum Coffee. She is thankful for her role at Arboretum which combines her passion for craft coffee with her desire to serve the people around her and positively impact the community.
