How would you describe your time at The New York New Jersey Min...?
Working here at The New York/New Jersey Minority Purchasing Council was a blessing. Being involved in a grass roots non profit organization was very beneficial in the sense that it was very rewarding in helping the underdog.

How would you describe your time at parsons school of design?
Attending Parson School of Design was an honor for me. Going to school in the village of NYC was great, there were so many things to do and learn in and out of school. I majored in Metal/Jewelry Design under the Product Design Department at Parsons and minored in Vocal Performance at Eugene Lang & Antique Conniseurship @ The New School. I was on the Deans List for 2 years straight and I'm happy to say my critiques were always constructive. I really focused on drawing and mastered Jewelry Rendering nicely. I now design on a freelance basis in watercolor and guache. It was wonderful to be able to be taught by some amazing teachers such as Lynn Shapiro, Esther Cohen, Rolando Negotia & Pat Mackie....
