Personal Details

Bio

Grade School Report Cards told my mom I talked a lot in class. I grew up, trained to be a teacher, and am STILL talking in class, but now I get paid to do it!

I find story telling to be a powerful avenue to impact lives, help people to reflect and to draw people closer. I use storytelling to inspire, give hope, share life lessons, and create community.

As a natural in front of groups, I strive to impact lives through my own personal stories of struggle, trauma, humor, and life lessons.
