About Me!

I have over ten years of experience between being a professional storyteller, children's librarian, and school librarian.  I reside in beautiful Colorado and love to dramatize Colorado History.  I believe that oral storytelling brings a story to life.  A story lives, breathes, and grows as it is being told to an audience.  I always incorporate audience participation into my storytelling and puppetry.  Students and adults alike have enjoyed my storytelling workshops which emphasize teaching techniques such as inflection, accents, and body language.  I love telling stories that engross the audience until time ceases to exist.  
            I also enjoy hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, jogging, and writing.  I finished writing my first novel and hope to publish it.  My favorite stories to perform are ones with strong characters, funny situations, and memorable dialog.
