I have always known that I wanted to be a jeweler. Inherently creative, I was born and raised in Albany, NY,  where I spent my spare time engaging in creative projects, from making beaded bracelets, learning wire weaver to eventually enrolling in classes right here at this very same Arts Center! Little did I know that after continuing my jewelry studies at The New Approach School for Jewelers and working in high end jewelry shops that my journey would come full circle. I now design and create jewelry for myself, through my company, La OM Jewelry, and teach jewelry classes at the Arts Center of the Capital Region!
