Jewelry in the Rough

Memories from jewelry making past 😍🥹

Rapidly wrapping up a big part of my life from the past four years…

September 2023 means we now have a 2 year old and 10 years of marriage ❤️🥰❤️ She is a bright, shining star 🌟 We are so proud and lucky!

LIFE UPDATE: After leaving KSN five years ago, I am now officially a full-time college instructor at Pitt State! And today was the first day of new faculty orientation ❤️💛❤️ It’s hard to believe that I interviewed for this opportunity in the Comm Department and now have it!

ALSO: This summer was a big step forward in finishing my PhD. I passed qualifying exams, wrote three chapters, and passed my defense, but I have major revisions to do. Passing is great, but it feels like a set back. So back to the drawing board for various aspects. While I hit pause to focus on PSU, I’ll get to working on it soon.

I’m so thankful to have an amazing support system that believes in me ❤️ I couldn’t do it without any of you especially my amazing husband Kord 🥰 Here’s to an exciting year!
