My Work..



I teach storytelling both 1-to-1 and in groups.

My Shire Stories storytelling services: 

Curating and emceeing live story events

Workshopping speeches, lectures and other public speaking obligations

Experiential trainings for business and nonprofit staffs to improve communication and public speaking skills


For this work I've partnered with individuals, towns (New Marlborough and Richmond) and nonprofits such as Hevreh, Berkshire Botanical Garden, Literacy Network and Greenagers.  

I see storytelling as our best hope for nurturing human connection and healing divisions.  

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.
