Meet The Storyteller

I wouldn't (*cough* couldn’t) stop talking. Every report card said the same thing: Talkative. My first grade teacher moved my desk next to hers halfway through the first marking period.

And…it worked but not how she expected it to. I didn’t stop gabbing, but I did take to journaling like a duck to water. I did find joy in communal reading. And I did take up the space she gave us to imagine big. Real big. I grew up to become an audiobook narrator, award-winning creative producer, writer… and now, a novelist in progress? Yep. That checks out.

Everything I make starts from the same place: a belief that telling stories honestly, creatively, with my whole chest, is an act of love. Not always comfortable. There's a tedium to this work that makes me question everything about my ability sometimes. But that's the beauty of it. Pushing through. Sitting with it. Daydreaming and imagining my way to and through the stories I can't live without. The ones about who we are, where we come from, and what we owe each other.
