Some of my work

I write self-published stories here on the SITO blog, and also for clients that align with my interests, some of which you can read more about here.

It’s my view that unless we are inspired to change, we will keep repeating the same problems that got us into our global messes (the conflicting crises of climate change, food insecurity, plastic pollution, and fracturing society, among others).

To be inspired, we cannot continuously digest negative news: this creates analysis paralysis, apathy, and overwhelm. Instead, we need stories of hope that make us feel as though we are not, in fact, alone and that there are people out there working hard to make this planet a better place.

Eternally grateful to all my clients, past and present, for welcoming me into their worlds to help tell their stories. And, I am forever inspired by the community groups working so hard to effect change at the local level. 💙
