I am a retired RN who entered the jewelry industry in 2004 in retail sales as "holiday help" and fell in love with my career! There is always something new to learn in this exciting field! I began pursuing my Graduate Gemologist (GIA) in 2009 and achieved that goal in February 2013. I attended New Approach School for Jewelers to learn my goldsmith skills in 2012 and began my Personal Jeweler/Custom Design jewelry business in January 2013. I thoroughly enjoy working with my clients, creating, sharing with other jewelry enthusiasts, and learning new things every day!
