“I believe that all storytelling is an act of courage. My classes blend craft with curiosity—helping sharpen your voice, embrace vulnerability, and make meaningful connections with our community.

Much like writing as a profession, the act of putting pen to paper is only a small part of my lesson plan. By utilizing meditation, games, conversation, and prompts, you’ll leave feeling a bit more confident and far more connected to yourself. Whether you’re looking to reawaken your journaling practice, draft a fantastical short story, or you just need an artistic spark, I aim to help unblock your mind and inspire you to live a more creative life.”
