My beginnings and inspiration

I have been telling stories, attending storytelling festivals and conferences since 1992. My education has come from Master Storytellers and Writers from across the United States.

​

I was a public school teacher prior to my storytelling profession.

My formal education includes a Bachelor and Master Degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education from Eastern New Mexico University.  

​

My greatest teachers in my past have been all my relatives but two stand out from my childhood. My paternal grandmother and father, I did not realize that they were mentoring me for the future.  I hear their voices in many of the stories I have created.

​

To name a few of my appearances...very few.
