I have always loved all animals and have yet to come across one I didn't want to greet.  I am fascinated by their excitement for life and amazed by their genuine personalities.  Over the years I have worked with animals at numerous jobs and volunteer positions.  Each opportunity has been a different way to give back to them and to the humans that love them.

I started working in glass in 2004 while attending Massachusetts College of Art and Design.  It was an instant love and an instant passion.  I love the way hot glass glows, moves and stretches and constantly challenges me. Glass has literally taken me all over the world and I am forever grateful for it.  It was glass that lured me to Seattle, WA in 2007 where I met the first love of my life, Piper the Dog.  For more than a decade now, I've called Southern California home.  I enjoy every day under the sun with my husband Matt and our furkids.
