Summary

With a proven sales track record at Smith & Noble, as well as owning a community based art business, I have cultivated strong customer relationships.

I enjoy sharing my art and design background and offering various craft techniques I have cultivated over the years to both children and adults in a safe positive environment.

I am also a proud owner of an online home decor business, offering hand made decorative accessories for the home.
