My Work..
STORYTELLING
I teach storytelling and workshop speeches and lectures, either 1-to-to or in groups of up to 12 people at a time.
My Shire Stories storytelling services:
- Curating and emceeing my own live story events of storyteller line-ups I select and workshop stories with.
- Curating and emceeing live story events in collaboration with towns and organizations to commemorate anniversaries, openings or other important events.
- Workshopping speeches, lectures and other public speaking obligations for individuals.
- Experiential trainings for business and nonprofit staffs to improve communication and public speaking skills
Since 2017 I've partnered with businesses, individuals, towns (New Marlborough and Richmond) and nonprofits such as the Mahaiwe Theatre, Hevreh of South Berkshire, Berkshire Botanical Garden, Literacy Network and Greenagers.
I see storytelling as our best hope for nurturing human connection and healing divisions.
WRITING
As a writer and freelance journalist my interests include public education reform, income inequality, media and politics.
Clarity, my Substack newsletter, is the place to find my personal essays, strongly-held opinions and humor pieces. I've been a regular contributor to The Berkshire Edge since 2014 and serve on the board of the Berkshire Waldorf High School, which my daughters attended.
