Starting Global Pathways in 1996 gave me the unique opportunity to travel the world in search of gems, minerals, and unique products. Throughout my travels, I have realized that we are all pretty much the same. Our names, customs, and geography might be different, but deep down our desires, needs, and passions are all the same. I love meeting, talking, and developing friendships and ideas with new people. Cheers!

I have been a crafter my whole life between weaving, sculpting, and many 2d art forms. I started my art school career at Pratt MWP and received two BFA’s in Metalsmithing and Art History from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2016 and 2017 respectively. During that time I taught weaving, metalsmithing, and paper/bookmaking. I am a circus performer, fire-spinner, curator, as well as Artistic Director for a small New England Music and Arts festival.

I have spent the past eighteen years working with jewelry. There is an element of history and nostalgia in jewelry that I really appreciate. You get to know a bit about people’s lives through the items they treasure and I appreciate being a part of that experience.
