Storyteller
I am passionate about storytelling and word weaving and I invite people of all ages to ignite their imaginations through the stories I tell! I draw on the oral traditions of many cultures from around the world, and the characters and the themes in the stories I tell are universal, and teach us important, and often funny lessons, about ourselves and each other.
I can create a storytelling program that meets your unique needs, whether it is a birthday party, summer camp, school program, nursing home or celebration.

Storytelling Clubs
Why teach students the craft of storytelling? Because it’s one of the most important life skills one can learn. It’s difficult to be successful if you’re not a good communicator and communication is, at its most basic level, the ability to tell a story well.
More importantly, teaching kids how to tell stories helps them improve their language skills, instills a love of reading, increases self-esteem, and stirs their imagination.
Best of all, storytelling involves children of all levels of ability, fosters cooperation, and is a lot of fun! In a Storytelling Club, students develop their own storytelling talents, learn and apply the techniques of storytelling, create storytelling guides, and perform for an audience!
