Work with Me

My work spans the arts, education, and corporate spaces, and is grounded in the power of story. I create spaces where people feel supported to speak openly, listen deeply, and connect through creativity.
I offer performances, workshops, story and talking circles, and facilitated experiences for schools, cultural institutions, and corporate partners. Drawing on over 25 years as a poet, performer, and educator, I design thoughtful, engaging experiences tailored to each audience, that center voice, encourage reflection, and build meaningful connection.
