My lifelong love for jewelry started in childhood - pretty much as soon as I could dress myself. I had an early eye for accessorizing and cherished every visit to the jewelry store with my dad for special occasions. I still remember the joy of trying on pieces, draping myself in pearls, and balancing oversized rings on my fingers.
But my passion for accessories is only part of the story. I bring a diverse blend of education and experience to my work. I graduated from the University of Washington with double majors in Art History and Communications and earned my Applied Jewelry Professional certification from the Gemological Institute of America. Together, these have given me a strong foundation for a career in jewelry.
My professional path has included everything from luxury jewelry sales to working as a professional numismatist - an expert in coins, currency, and historical artifacts. These varied roles have helped me develop a keen eye for value, detail, and storytelling. Now, I’m thrilled to bring my artistic background to the forefront as a designer at Green Lake Jewelry Works, where I get to help craft future heirlooms that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
Outside of work, I love staying creatively inspired through digital art and painting. I’m a Seattle native who finds joy in exploring nature with my dog and husband, hunting for hidden treasures while thrifting and antiquing, and discovering new coffee shops around the city. I’m also a self-proclaimed crystal nerd - my personal collection has over 200 pieces!
