I became involved in the piercing industry in 1998, but I had been very interested with many different kinds of body modification since I was a little. I'm pretty sure all the National Geographic magazines my parents had laying around played a major role in what would become an obsession, and eventually a career.

During my first few years in the industry, I spent time at a few different studios. I started by working at the front counter, answering questions and learning about jewelry. I then moved on to learning about sterilization and infection control, which led to learning how to properly sterilize all types of piercing equipment. The whole time I was learning the basics, I focused on soaking up as much piercing-related information as I could. I eagerly absorbed everything I could get my hands on.

In 2003, I started piercing full-time. Since then I've devoted myself to doing consistently good, safe piercings and helping clients realize the vision they have for their piercings. I feel that one key to doing consistently good work is pursuing various types of continuing education as it relates to body piercing.

I started working at Saint Sabrina's in May of 2007.
