After receiving a BS in International Business from Elizabethtown College, I moved to New Haven, CT in 2001 to work as the Front Desk Manager of the New Haven Hotel. In 2004, I accepted a position at the Yale Law School, where I’m currently working as the Budget Coordinator. While my 9-5 job is in finance, I take great pleasures in working with my hands and creating things. Shortly after beginning my work at Yale, I turned to studying jewelry and metalsmithing at the Rhode Island School of Design, New Haven’s Creative Arts Workshop, and most recently at Middlesex Community College, where I met and was inspired by jewelry artist & teacher Wendy Black-Nasta.
