Kirsten Sydney Wolff is the executive vice-president of PearlParadise.com Inc., and managing director of the 'Personal Pearl Concierge' program.

There are very few belly-dancing sign language interpreters who can intelligently discuss both the science and beauty of pearls, but Kirsten is definitely among them.  Born in Oregon, Kirsten was squired away to the Fiji Islands, the South Pacific, and grew up briefly in Australia. The daughter of two teachers, Kirsten was inculcated with a love of knowledge and travel from an early age.  She has been found, variously in her life, substitute-teaching Eskimos north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska, ingesting Italian while living in Rome, and balancing the press as a Media Liaison for a fortune 500 magazine. Somewhere along the way she also found time to run her own couture business (she's a master seamstress as well), interpret for the deaf and blind/deaf, and dance as professional belly dancer, all before retiring and running away to college. Kirsten received her degree in business at Loyola Marymount University in 2000, graduating Magna Cum Laude & Beta Gamma Sigma. Later, after joining Pearl Paradise as Executive Vice President, Kirsten continued her education at the Gemological Institute of America, receiving the Graduate Diploma in pearls with plans to complete the Graduate Gemologist degree in the future.
