    Growing up I was always making things. Sculptures, beads, crafts. If
    I could make it I did. Went through middle and high school figuring
    I would end up in art school. Once I got there I hated it. I went for
    metalsmithing and jewelry design. While in college I worked for
    Zales. I tried to convince our jeweler to take me on as an apprentice
    but he said go to GIA. I left art school after 2 years and signed up
    for the GIA, GJ program. It was an amazing experience. I wouldnt call
    myself a jeweler as yet, but I make jewelry so I guess that counts
    for something.
