Favorite quote: “…the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way…”—W. H. Murray, The Scottish Himalaya Expedition, (1951)

Biographical info  – I started making jewelry in 2002. I’ve taken courses in metalsmithing at New York University; in enameling and jewelry fabrication at The Crucible in Oakland, CA; and in metal clay with Patrik Kusek. In 2009, I began my studio, Within Orb, as a conjunction of my interests in jewelry and astrology. When I’m not in my studio, I work as a freelance editor for publications both local (The Threepenny Review) and global (the Sophia Centre Press in the UK and authors in South Africa). I also work with Metalliferous in New York City.
