School Visits & Speaking Events

I visit classrooms, libraries, and community spaces to shape stories, answer questions, and talk about creativity.I have a knack for helping people across the age spectrum follow their curiosity, pay attention to themselves, and notice how stories can open new ways of thinking.I offer a range of visit formats for schools, educators, and community organizations that want to encourage imagination and engagement through story and conversations.
