Tell us a little bit about you. Where did you train or study and what led you to the path you currently are on?
I actually have a science background and I’m currently completing my MSc in Pediatrics. But my arts friends have always called me the pseudo-science student, and my interests have always split down the middle (if you’ll accept the idea of science/art dichotomy). I’ve been making jewelry since I was 10 years old (I used to sell it on the bus) and it’s something I’ve always gone back to. Right after finishing up my undergrad, I spent nearly a month in the hospital because of a 4 month bout of missed appendicitis. Then I was out, graduated, unemployed—and on bed rest. I pulled out my beads and went at it hard to distract myself from the pain and boredom. The rest is history!
