Introduction	I'm a mother of 2 boys and a wife to a great guy named Donovan, who is also extremely artistic and talented. I love to laugh, listen to music (or rather rock out to it), dance, sing, and in general I'm a fun loving kind of girl. I try not to take myself or others too seriously. I'm an advocate for autism awareness because I have a son who has autism, so that is something I feel passionately about. I also love art and am currently a jewelry designer. I had a Real Estate license for 10 years, but I'm in the process of retiring it now to focus on jewelry full time. My designs have been featured in Bead Trends Magazine, including the December 2012 cover, and I am a member of the Artisan Group. Through that organization, I sent jewelry to the Oscars and NY Fashion Week swag bags, the Wendy Williams show, and to over 30 high profile, eco-conscious celebrities for an exclusive Earth day gifting opportunity. These stars include Leonardo DiCaprio, Drew Barrymore, Emma Watson, Julia Roberts, and Meryl Streep, just to name a few. My design was used on the show, "Parenthood," in April of 2014. I am teaching a jewelry class at the Athens Arts Center this summer as well.
