Biography
 
I received my undergraduate from the University of Minnesota with a dual degree in Art and Finance. I earned my Bench and Graduate Jeweler Certificates at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco.
 
I taught jewelry fabrication at Minnetonka & Hopkins Center for the Arts in Minnesota. I volunteered at Hopkins High School for Terry Chamberlin in the jewelry program.  I am an emerging artist who designs and fabricates one of a kind or limited edition of fine artistic jewelry. The essence of my work is a play between movement and sensuality. My work is based on hidden messages and healing qualities in the universe.
 
I am currently in graduate school at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago for Art Therapy and my work is at BJeweled in the Gold Coast, Chicago.
