CURRENT MISSION

Expand my horizons while enjoying the present moment

ABOUT ME

Hey! Oh lets see, I hate writing about myself. But, so to begin I was born in Miami, Florida and then moved to Charlotte, NC grew up there. After graduating highschool I decided to get the heck out of suburban NC and move to the mountains. I went to college at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC and studied sustainable development with a concentration in environmental studies and minor in music. I absolutely loved Boone, because the people there are really down to earth and in this little mountain town I felt like I had an outlet for my desire to be outside and enjoy the natural environment. During college I worked at an amazing bead store and dual coffee shop. I was a barista for 4 years and the manager of the bead store for a couple as well. This is when I discovered my love of crafting jewelry and have been pursuing this dream ever since. I moved to Asheville, NC after school and worked at a gem and jewelry gallery. I loved Asheville as well, because the town and the people are funky, artsy, progressive, and know how to have a good time!

Since graduating in May I am searching for new doors to enter and trying to find my path! I have been traveling to try an open my eyes to new cultures, people, information, spirituality,and all that comes with traveling. I am trying to grow as a person and discover how to live life to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it. I sell my jewelry as a supplemental income as I travel and to share my artwork, inspiration, and healing with others. I study the metaphysical healing properties of stones and utilize this knowledge to make jewelry that is not only beautiful but also healing to the wearer. As I travel I am also trying to understand the intricate and interwoven systems that make up our daily lives and affect our current world order, so that I can access how we can make change to become more sustainable. I am searching for knowledge of localization, and sustainable homesteading to make myself more resilient and sustainable as well! I want to create a positive open energy to exchange stories, share and build solutions and art work, and enjoy travel!!

PHILOSOPHY

Spread love and light to all and live a life which leaves a small footprint on this earth and helps ensure that future generations will be able to have their needs met as well!
