About me

After graduating from Swan Hill College in 2014, I moved to Melbourne for 6 months and completed my Certificate II in Jewellery Manufacturing at Melbourne Polytechnic.
I then was offered an apprenticeship in Ballarat as a jeweller which is where I began my career.

After three years in Ballarat I came back from a holiday in Hawaii and moved straight up to a small town on the South East Coast of NSW called Narooma where I finished my apprenticeship.

I moved back to Swan Hill in 2019 and worked in hospitality, then in reception/admin during the 2020 covid lockdown.

I missed being in the jewellery industry, so when an opportunity presented itself in Adelaide at the beginning of 2021, I took it!

I’ve also been fortunate enough to be able to set up a jewellers workshop in my home and create my own little business..
