Stories have always captured my attention. I remember waking up to dreams of The Little Nemo or Star Trek: Voyager, sad to leave the amazing characters and immersive worlds, but happy to be yet again beneath my own covers. Growing up in the late 90’s was a truly special time weighted with historical triumphs in Fantasy Literature, Animation, and Entertainment. These shaped me to my very foundation, along with my family, friends, and accomplishments in life. One of these aspects has been my life long dream of being a storyteller myself. I wish to share the joys that all folks feel when we experience the flavor and connection a new story brings.

I am a 10 year educator who learns & connects through stories to promote understanding, belonging, and unity. I teach and participate in structured analysis techniques to develop and promote authentic engagement of text, visual, and other artistic expression. I examine stories through a critical lens to fully appreciate the macro and the micro of the piece. I welcome you to join me in these areas and my first steps into even new endeavors!
