I became quite interested in the jewelry industry at the age of fifteen, when I was offered an apprenticeship at a local jewelry store. My interest continued throughout high school where I attended classes in art and jewelry design.

Upon completing high school, I attended the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica, California where I became a Graduate Gemologist. After further study, I became a member of the International Society of Appraisers. I later became employed as a Senior Designer and Chief Gemologist in Stamford, Connecticut.

Upon my return to the Metro Detroit area, I decided to open my own jewelry studio in downtown Berkley, Michigan, where I design, create, sell, repair, appraise and restore jewelry pieces.
