After leaving school in 2003 I went to South Tyneside college full time where I studied Law, ICT and Biology. This was a completely random choice because I had no clue what I wanted to do long-term. Soon after finishing college I moved to Leeds and I love every minute of life here! I've travelled a bit and discovered an interest in Diamonds and Gemology...

I've almost completed my Jewellers Diploma and am going to be starting the second part next year! So far I've managed to gain 'A' grades on all assignments - yay! I aim to specialise in Gemstones in their rough form and use in industry.

My days at Harton were amazing so just make sure you don't wish them away too soon! Sometimes you might find things tough but stick at it even if you have no idea what direction you want to take.. it'll all fall into place when you least expect it!
One thing I find quite funny is that all those "popular ones" who thought they were gorgeous and better than everyone else have actually made nothing of their lives so far.
