Bio

In the summer of 2019 my dear friend Yvonne Mason introduced me to Jane Grass, an oral storyteller. When Jane shared a story, I was fascinated and wanted more. She suggested I look into the Baden Storytellers' Guild which I did. By mid-2020 the Baden Storytellers' Guild invited me to be a member and I joyously accepted. Since then, I have been learning more and more about oral storytelling with the Guild and beyond. It has been my pleasure as a member of the staff at St. Thomas Public Library to work with the programming team in raising awareness around oral storytelling in the library and the St. Thomas community.

​

I am also a member of Storytelling Toronto and Storytellers of Canada - Conteurs du Canada.

I have just completed the online Storytelling Toronto Master Class taught by Celia Lottridge.

​

In February of 2023, with Judy Caulfield agreeing to be my mentor, The Baden Storytellers' Guild nominated our pairing for the Emerging Storyteller Award and we have been selected as a recipient of the award.

Our work has begun in preparation for my attendance and performance at the SC-CC 2023 Annual Conference in Sudbury, Ontario.
