As a child, I spent countless hours drawing, painting and making things. I continued to study painting in college, where I ultimately received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. At that time I also became interested in the environment. I attended law school, received my Juris Doctor degree, and practiced environmental law as a federal and state government attorney. While the work was rewarding, I eventually realized that I needed to start making art again. In 2010, I took an introductory metals and jewelry class at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and was hooked. I began studying metalsmithing and jewelry design part time at MICA and later, the Baltimore Jewelry Center. In September 2015 I became a full time metalsmith and jewelry artist. I live and work in Baltimore, Maryland.
