Melissa Shoop

CEO & PRESIDENT

Dana Jenkins

COO

Hi! I’m Dana and I am thrilled to be a part of such an amazing company, Java Momma. I’ve known Melissa for years and love the culture and company that she has built with Java Momma. I’ve been involved in Direct Sales for over six years as a consultant and leader – but I enjoy working on the back-end business processes the most. My favorite part of Direct Sales is watching consultants grow into new skills, leaders and business owners. Prior to DS, I fulfilled a 20-year sales career as a rep, manager, and executive leader mostly in the pharmaceutical arena. I have a love for strategy, business processes, marketing, and analytics. Newer to a coffee-obsession, but long-time tea lover! It’s important for me to have work-life balance, so I love working remotely for Java Momma. I live in MD with my husband, son and daughter.

Brian Shoop

ROASTER

I’m Brian! Husband to Melissa theJava Momma Roaster. I also work full time for Geisinger Health System as a Computer Analyst. I’ve been there for 30 years. The thing I love most is all the adventures Melissa and I have with her brainstorms.

Brie Carriveau

CBDO - Cheif Business Development Officer

Hi! I am Brie and I am the CBDO of Java Momma as well as Creative Director and Brand Developer.  I am also the companion to the Doctor (aka Melissa) I am lucky enough that I get to work remotely from home here in Alabama. Graphics are my baby and I love how much fun and sass we get to pour into them. The thing I love the most about Java Momma is not just the product, but the community and heart. We are a tribe and we have a good vibe. When Melissa says we are a relationship built company, she was not kidding. I have met some amazing people that I now get to call friends. I have 3 kiddos, a teenager, a tweenager and a toddler! My boys’ middle names are David and Tennant respectively. I bet you know my other obsession. Allons-y!

Bonnie Barista

Community Manager

Hi! I’m Bonnie, Java Momma Community Manager! I’m here for support, encouragement, and to remind you to be your best self, while building your empire! My favorite thing about being a community manager is being able to spend my time with and watch the personal and business growth that happens daily! My colleagues at the home office are incredibly inspiring, supportive and they own their awesome. This company is full of incredible Baristas who are building their empires and lifting each other and making a change. It’s incredible, and I couldn’t be more proud to be apart of something so amazing. Plus, I get to drink coffee all day, everyday who would hate that? I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my days! 

Grace Deegan

Customer Support

Hey Y’all! My name is Grace and I do customer support for Java Momma. I was previously a part of the Production Crew of Java Momma. I currently live in Jacksonville, NC with my husband who is a Corporal in the Marine Corps. It has been a wonderful experience watching Java Momma grow from Melissa’s kitchen to now our new and larger location! I have been working for Melissa since 2014/15. I have been through her most of her LuLaRoe years and since the start of Java Momma. I was one of her first workers when Melissa and Uncle Brian started Java Momma. My favorite Java Momma product would be the various Hot Chocolates with Chocolate Truffle being my favorite Hot Cocoa. I think the most ironic part of being with this business is that I do not care for coffee but I love smelling the various coffee flavors!
