I am a speaker, a workshop presenter, an author, creator, and a lifelong learner.  I am trained in theatre, mediation, conflict resolution, restorative justice practice, and emotion-focused family therapy. I am passionate about the stories of our lives: those we tell ourselves, and those we choose to share with others. I've worked in  theatre, film, TV, radio, theatre, politics, and the non-profit world and continue to look for new opportunities to connect, share and grow. I am passionate about post-traumatic growth, mental health, and resilience. 

​In the midst of hate, I found within me there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.  I realized that through it all-- in the midst of winter, there was, within me, an invincible summer.                                                                                                                                                           - Albert Camus
