I am passionate about people and what can happen when the right people find each other. A lot of my work has been about connecting businesses, nonprofit organisations, communities and individuals around something they care about. I love seeing an idea turn into something real because people with completely different experiences decided to work together. I am also curious about how technology is changing the way we live and relate to each other.

I am passionate about social, racial, economic, and environmental justice, and supporting others, including my students, colleagues, friends, husband, and family, in the discovery and development of their strengths and talents. I am passionate about helping my students see themselves as writers and agents of change. We have many problems to solve and we each have a part to play in this lifetime to repair and heal what is broken and cultivate new growth.
