The last few years in New England have been so good to me! I’m lucky to have made so many amazing friends and created so many great memories here! ❤️ But in just one week from today, I start on my next adventure in Sydney Australia!

Shout out to all my amazing friends and family who have supported me on my journey! I’m thankful for each and every one of you!

Huge thanks to all the amazing coaches, friends, and great people I’ve met through @otf_attleboro! I wish there was a OTF studio where I’m going!

I’m sad to say goodbye to the studios at @thesteelyard & @worcestercenterforcrafts! I loved teaching and working with everyone!

If you ever find yourself traveling to Australia you can always come stay with me! taken in Sydney Harbour Bridge by @hessonart

It has been a crazy time after Grad school! So much as happened and I haven’t been on social media much! But I am extremely happy to announce that earlier this summer I joined Tiffany & Co. as a Silversmith at their Cumberland RI location!

Many thanks to all the people who have supported me on my journey and continue to cheer me on!
