I am a Criminal Justice Graduate, working as a substitute teacher and my interest is in further developing my skill as a glass artist and growing my business (Shuffle Studio), or to operate a program that uses art therapy to move young adults from criminal behavior into a more productive mindset and life. I am primarily a glass artist. I own Shuffle Studio which is a lampwork bead studio in Grand Rapids Michigan, I specialize in handmade lampwork beads and custom jewelry. It is my goal to expand my studio and begin teaching classes to the general public as well as eventually offering classes to at risk youth in the community. I believe that the meditative qualities of glass work as well as the self discipline and control involved in the medium could help lead young people in need of direction away from more negative activities and influences.Specialties: Event/ travel planning, Scheduling, Retail sales, Research
