| EDUCATION | I consider myself a lifelong learner. |
| PROFESSIONAL EVOLUTION | Glass-blowing had caught my attention even as a child, and I was fortunate to study in New York and Murano, Italy, under some wonderful teachers. Glass has become my life. |
| SOMETHING SURPRISING | I love gardening, bees and orchids, as well as glass art! I’m also a great cook. |
| FLORIDA ISSUE | Ecosystem preservation, affordable housing for its young creative population, and the sustainability of its arts community |
