About Me:

Hey! I am 20 years old, and a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. I've always been very involved with my community, and always looking for ways to help out. Currently, I am in the process of finding an organization to collaborate with to donate a percentage of proceeds to their cause.
I have been crafting my entire life, from keeping myself busy on rainy days as a child, to making it a hobby, teaching crafts as a part of community service, and now as a side job. My passions are with painting and making jewelry.
As a child I experimented with every form of crafting one could imagine, trying to find my niche. As I got older, I transformed that enjoyment into teaching other children how to enjoy it by becoming an arts and crafts director at the local Girl Scout Camp and a summer camp in my hometown.
I have finally acquired the experience and knowledge to transform my hobby into a side job, for what is a job if you don't enjoy doing it? I put my heart and soul into each piece made.
