About Me
I feel deep in my being I was put on this planet to help others share their journey with the rest of the world, to offer up new perspectives, and to expose different ways of life and thought. I’m a journalist, a question-raiser, idea crusader, and a permanent pupil of this strange and beautiful life. The journalist in me is “on” more often than “off,” and I’m always chasing the desire to create wonder! My mission is to tell soulful stories, inspire a compassionate response, and experiment with raw and revealing writing and visual storytelling while helping to create a community I want to live in. The opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives motivates me to pursue and expose the issues that are most difficult to address and fix, to break down stigmas, and embrace individuals of all walks of life.
