Her career path started out on a traditional route.  She has a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and proceeded to work in the medical field on the administration and management side. While this fed her passion to help others, it did not feed her creative side. After several years in the medical field, she decided to assist a friend in established her non-profit organization for disabled veterans. The latter is what eased her into the field of jewelry making. Her first pieces were beaded bracelets which she named Em-Bracelets ™. It was a project to raise money to provide services for disabled and homeless veterans. Each bracelet came with a card with a poem written on it.  However, it wasn’t then that I decided to start Creation’s Best. This venture arose out of a desire to build a new life for herself and her family. As a Mom, home schooling her children, designing one of a kind jewelry sustained them.  She started out making candles. Finally she returned to her passion of making jewelry and then added homemade soaps. Her jewelry career began with beading; which led to wire wrapping and weaving. Recently, her passion has grown into Metal Smithing, where she now designs using primarily copper, sterling silver, gemstones.
