Hi! I'm Jen. I live in the Northeast but have lived all over the United States (KY, TN, TX, AZ, AK, CA, MA, MT just to name a few). I've been in the medical field for over 15 years and I love it. (Total trauma junkie) When I'm not at work you can find me working on my Project Life album, cooking, reading and spending time with my family and my dog, Ellie.

The music on my phone runs the gamut. I've everything from Slipknot to Sinatra. My favorite artists/bands include The Black Keys, Hermanos Gutierrez, Boy & Bear, Lord Huron, Florence + The Machine, Phil Collins, Hozier... just too many to list lol.

I haven't run into too many books that I didn't like. Not keen on romance novels though. My favorite books/authors include the Harry Potter series, A Little Life, the Kay Scarpetta series, the Sookie Stackhouse series and the Millennium trilogy (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo). I'm also a member of Book of The Month Club so I'm expanding my reading selections.

I'm a huge fan of Downton Abbey, Big Little Lies, Westwood, Shetland, Happy Valley, True Detective, Grey's Anatomy, National Geographic specials, True Blood, Annika, Unforgotten.

I'd like to think of myself as a Jill of all trades :)

I have my own jewelry line, sold hand crafted cold process soap and bath products and owned a small scrapbooking supply and planner accessory company.

I've dabbled in silversmithing and would LOVE to try stained glass!

I love using my hands to create things. I also enjoy knitting and crocheting, painting (acrylic & watercolor), and wood working.
