Always learning: Something new

I’m a Virginia girl at heart, and some of my earliest memories of happiness are picking blackberries in the woods and chasing butterflies. That sense of curiosity and wonder has stayed with me throughout my adult life. I’ve always been happiest when I’m learning something new, creating, exploring somewhere unfamiliar, or surrounded by nature.

My professional background spans fashion marketing, buying, wholesale, brand strategy, and luxury retail. I’m particularly interested in jewelry and the stories behind it: gemstones and their origins, craftsmanship, design, collecting, personal style, and the way a piece can become connected to a person, place, or memory.

I’m based in Palm Beach, where I’m building my career in luxury jewelry and documenting the world around it. I’m interested in the places where jewelry becomes part of a larger way of life: Palm Beach in winter, New England in summer.

Outside of work, I love staying active, traveling, being in nature, studying, public speaking, organizing, and finding ways to support and encourage the people around me.

I’m especially drawn to places with both beaches and mountains, anywhere that offers a sense of beauty, movement, and possibility. And, of course, I’m a very proud cat mom to Lola.
