Story-teller, Writer, Parent-Caregiver Coach

I could offer you a list of degrees, cite my impressive pedigree, or list my various post-grad attempts to avoid cubicle-entrapment. Or I could list how many career changes I’ve had (teacher, actor, social worker, ex-pat). Truth is, if you really want to know, just read what I write. 

the straight facts:

I am privileged to have written for Truthdig, JustMeans/3bl Media, The Marin Independent Journal as well as Inhabitots, Inhabitat, HuffingtonPost among other places. I earned my MFA in creative writing from University of San Francisco.

backstory:

I’ve had enough career changes and moved enough times to fill a jar of marbles. Finally, I settled on being a writer, which was what I wanted to do back in the third grade to begin with. Sometimes you’ve gotta leave home to find home, as they say.

Currently I coach parents/caregivers of children/adult-children with rare disease in journaling, self-care and resilience tools to handle the hard work of caregiving. I also help children overcome needle fear from vaccines, blood draws and most needle pokes. Go to mightyhumanscoach.com for more info if that would support you!
