What was the best part of your time at NBSS?

I always tell people that North Bennet was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and one of the best decisions I ever made.

What are you up to now?

I have started my own jewelry line and am so lucky to be working towards taking over an established fine jewelry store in Downtown Asheville.
