About
I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Learning and Emerging Technology at State University of New York Empire State College. I have a BFA in Sculpture from the University of Illinois. I have worked as a jewelry designer and model maker for more than 15 years during which time I was fortunate to work with some very amazing designers, artisans, visionary business owners. I trained at the Gemological Institute of America as a Diamond Grader and am now qualified as a Diamond Grader.
