Chose cost-per-carat over cost-per-click, and I am a Graduate Gemologist (GIA). I spent 12 years working in Talent Acquisition, TV Production, Media / Advertising / Digital Media in NYC. While I love the industry, I didn’t like it as a job. One bad agency can leave a bad taste for an industry. I decided to move on... I asked myself what do I want to do everyday? I laughed and thought “Get paid to wear a tiara like the Queen.” The thought stuck with me...I work at auctions, in research and give free advice. Surprisingly, my time in the Jewellry & gem industry expanded my knowledge of history, geography, physics, chemistry, international politics, economics, seismology and anthropology. My favorite part of Jewellry are the stories behind the companies, pieces & stones. But, I have spent the past 2 years on a timeout when it comes to working. My purpose has been as caretaker & volunteer. I’ve continued to provide media & PR services on a volunteer basis. I’m always open to getting involved with non-profits and opportunities to do volunteer work: Epilepsy Foundation(s), Junior League, NY Common Pantry, Covenant House, Greenwich Hospital, Make-a-Wish, Bowery Mission, The Valentine Community Project Syracuse University (Newhouse School of Public Communications) 2005 G.I.A.
