I'm a retired R.N. with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts, and an Associate Degree in Nursing. I also completed about a third of a Master's Degree in Leadership and Organizational Change. Prior to becoming an R.N., I was a writer/editor for the Federal Government, taking scientific articles and making them understandable to the general public. I've always loved jewelry and have been making beaded jewelry for over 20 years. I was exposed to metal clay in 2014, and have been hooked ever since. As a nurse I've developed several adult learning classes.
