Jennifer Nester

I've worked in a lab analysis setting for 20 years and I feel it's time to find something new that will challenge me creatively rather than scientifically. I am an artist and want to use those skills in a professional setting.

I have so many interests and would really love to find a job or even an apprenticeship involving something that I truly love.

The industries I am most interested in are:

*Jewelry (bench work, finishing, stone cutting, appraisal, buying or selling, repairing)

*Antiques (estate sale assistance, staging, research, inventory, buying or selling, restoration)
