Wendy W
Bookkeeper
I’m a bookkeeper here at Green Lake Jewelry Works, where I help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. My background is in payroll and accounting, and I also studied medicinal chemistry, before transitioning into this field. While I didn’t come in with a jewelry background, working at Green Lake has given me a great foundation in the basics of jewelry and gemstones - and a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into each piece. I’ve developed a particular love for sapphires; their deep blue color and timeless elegance always stand out to me.
I first found my way to GLJW while looking for an English-speaking work environment, and I’ve been grateful ever since for the opportunity to work with such a creative and passionate team. I genuinely enjoy keeping things organized and accurate - there’s something so satisfying about seeing all the numbers line up just right. One of my favorite traditions here is our annual Halloween group photo - it’s a great reminder that even when we’re working hard, we can still have fun and celebrate together.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my two sons. They keep me busy, entertained, and always on my toes! I also love trying new recipes from different cultures - especially when I can play music while I cook and make a moment out of it.
