Anna Protcenko
Store Manager - Springer's Since 2019
I have worked in the service industry from restaurants, hospitality to retail for the past 19 years. Customer experience has always been the most fulfilling part of my job. It is amazing what connections one can make and how many hearts and lives we can touch simply working in a store. Jewelry is such a unique industry and offers a whole new level of experiences customers can have. It's a personal connection. It's being part of your most memorable events and truly making that moment special and unique that sets us apart. Seeing the excitement, joy and happiness in our customer's eyes is the best reward and the best way one can extend themselves to make a difference.

Alyssa Ortega
Repair Coordinator - Springer's Since 2021
When I moved to Portland from Chicago, I was looking to find a workplace that would allow me to marry my laboratory and retail skills into a meaningful role. I hit the jackpot with Springer's! I have always appreciated finely-made pieces of jewelry, and now I have the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented and kind people that create these beautiful items every day! Though new to the industry, I've already learned so much here, and can't wait to see what the future holds.
Bobo Tumba
Jeweler - Springer's Since 2018
I come from the country of my parents and ancestors, the Democratic Republic of Congo, but was born in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi. I owned and managed a jewelry store in Bujumbura and educated two jeweler’s apprentices during this time. I left my country and set my sights on the USA because of the war and the killings in Burundi and the DR Congo. I am an Artist in Residence at MECA, where I develop and fabricate new jewelry designs and work in a friendly and intimate environment among students and faculty. I love my job of jewelry and have a passion for creating art out of rough gemstones.
Caroline Aslani
Fine Jewelry Professional - Springer's Since 2021
I began my career in jewelry in 2012, and I have been in the industry ever since. My particular passion is estate jewelry and colored gemstones. There is nothing more exciting to me than taking an older sentimental item of jewelry and repurposing it into something new giving the piece a new lease on life! I am a Maine native, and look forward to helping my community and beyond discover their new favorite item of jewelry.
Chris Keene
Fine Jewelry Professional - Springer's Since 2011
A life long lover of jewelry, my passion started early on and led me to Maine, where I came to study Jewelry at Maine college of Art. After school I had the opportunity to work as an apprentice and bench jeweler under local artists until I made my way to Springer's. Since arriving here my passion for the unique and vintage has grown extensively. I can typically be found in close proximity to our estate collection photographing and researching our newest pieces. Outside of work I spend my time enjoying the Portland food scene and the islands of Casco Bay.

Katie Soule
Fine Jewelry Professional, G.G. and C.G. - Springer's Since 2017
After spending a decade working as a bench jeweler and in client services for small jewelry businesses, what makes me excited is connecting with clients through the artistic beauty and sentiment of their heirloom pieces. Because I am passionate about jewelry history and gemology, I am pursuing my education through the Gemological Institute of America. Other than jewelry, I am a proud Rotarian and I love fundraising for our community.

Kelly A. Hersom
Fine Jewelry Professional - Springer's Since 2016
There is something magical about being able to help my clients choose the ultimate gift. During my first communion I remember receiving my very own first gift, a ruby ring. It sits in my jewelry box and brings me back to that exact moment. Every piece of jewelry has a story. Hi, my name is Kelly. Come in and say hi, let me help you write your story.

Naomi McNeill
Fine Jewelry Professional - Springer's Since 2014
What I love about jewelry is that it has a story. It has the power to remind you of a specific person or moment in time, all while communicating your identity to the world. Jewelry creates a connection between people because it can quickly segue strangers into a meaningful conversation. I also love the process of designing and creating jewelry, especially when I have a chance to help breathe new life into heirloom pieces, turning them from something dated to something unique and modern that you can truly enjoy. In my spare time I run my own jewelry studio where I design and create contemporary art jewelry, chasing around my tornado of a toddler, and of course hanging out with my high school sweetheart and best friend of a hubby.
