MY “WHy”:

I have always been drawn to work that is centered on people and founded in tenets of empathy, understanding, and care. This work in grief and suicide prevention is rooted in those notions and is a direct extension of my work as a teacher and education advocate. I take great pride in being a third-generation educator, and working with TGRC allows me to continue that legacy. 

re-charging & delight-finding:

My writing and creative practice is essential to my own personal wellbeing, and I make sure to carve out a time each day to commit to putting words on the page.   In the same vein, my role as an educator is revitalizing and working with students is where I find inspiration, wonder, and joy. When not with TGRC I work with a variety of populations here in Missoula, as a playwriting and storytelling instructor.
