- Tell us about yourself
- Have been writing and creating stories since I was a kid. I am a writer, clown, mime, storyteller, and teacher. I am passionate about creating space for children and youth to play and create stories. I have taught storytelling camps for the past 10+ years at many metro area venues, including Aurora Fox Arts Center, Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities, Mizel Theater Academy, and for ArtReach and schools and recreation centers. I received grants to launch several storytelling-drama programs for at-risk youth. I was the co-founder of Storytellers Are Us, an all-women's storytelling troupe that performed original stories of unknown women of the West.
- Tell us how you feel about arts education
- Inspires, motivates children and youth to go deeper than deep into themselves and grow and discover their story - who they are. It's a necessity; it connects children and youth to themselves and everything and being outside of them.
