I began my professional career as a French teacher and school librarian, in Idaho, Washington, and New York. Then I traveled ten years as a storyteller, mostly in the U.S. but also in Europe, the UK, and Canada. By that time I had followed my heart to Canada, where I spent thirteen years as an organic farmer, small-scale rancher, and, when I realized community organizing was really about stories, a community developer. After serving as the first Project Coordinator for HEAL (Healthy Eating and Active Living in Northern British Columbia), I moved to Oakland, California to be Storytelling Director for Stagebridge (America’s oldest senior theatre troupe). I returned to BC to take on the post of Food & Health Manager for Interior Health. Now I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley and focus full time on writing and storytelling.
