After receiving a BA degree in Classics (Classical Civilizations) I worked for 2 years in a full time position as a Marketing Support Representative and a Buyer at an international distribution company. This experience helped me to realize what I didn't want in life, a desk job. I came to the conclusion that I was made for bigger and brighter things and moved from Montreal, Quebec to Oakville, Ontario with my husband. For a while I dabbled in different hobbies, trying to figure out what it was that I enjoyed doing. Christmas of last year (2008) changed all that. I decided to go into my local Micheals store and pick up some jewelry components to make a series of bracelets for my sister. Needless to say they were an instant success. I received the support that I very much desired from my family and took upon myself a new profession as a jewelry designer. I officially started my business, CB Jewelry Designs in March 2009 and have been creating ever since. I am currently taking classes at George Brown College and have applied to join their Jewelry Methods program to learn more about the jewelry industry and continue the pursuit of my education in the metal arts.; www.cbjewelrydesigns.com
