I work for Blaine Lewis at New Approach School for Jewelers as an assistant instructor and shop manager. I have a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University where I studied jewelry and metals, a Graduate Gemologist degree from GIA, and my bench jeweler certificate from here at New Approach School. I have worked in both the retail and trade side of the business. I am happy to speak with anyone interested in discussing anything about the jewelry trade especially training for skill development and our exceptional classes here at New Approach, but also enameling, metalsmithing, and anything about colored stones.; www.newapproachschool.com
