Her work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, The Denver Post, The Albuquerque Journal, The Santa Fe New Mexican and Mothering Magazine. From 1993 to 1995 Hagler worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala. Upon returning she began a colloborative effort with Coffee Kids to document the lives of people who live in coffee growing regions. Hagler would like to thank the generous and enthusiastic people photographed in this essay, who gladly opened the doors to their homes and to their kitchens, without whom "Behind Every Cup" would not have been possible.
