Personal Values

As a creative writing facilitator, I aim to foster belonging through explorations of identity and community, memory and emotion, relationships and transitions, and envisioning healthier futures on personal, interpersonal and societal levels. My intention is that participants in my workshops feel seen, heard, know they matter, and take away writing as a life-long tool that can foster clarity of thought and emotion, strong communication, healing self-expression, and interpersonal connection.
